Work That Matters
You won't just be ticking boxes. You'll shape risk assessments that guide critical decisions across infrastructure, contaminated land, mining, and industrial redevelopment — with real-world health and ecological impacts.

A Culture You'll Thrive In
We ditch the hierarchy and politics. You'll work with down-to-earth experts who back each other, share knowledge, and know how to enjoy the ride.

Career Progression Without the Spin
We invest in your development, your reputation, and your ideas. Want to lead? Expand into new markets? Mentor a team? You'll have the backing to make it happen.

We're looking for a Principal Human Health / Ecological Risk Assessor to lead and deliver high-level risk assessments across Australia. You'll be a national technical lead, mentoring our growing team and guiding clients through complex regulatory and scientific challenges.
 

What You'll Be Doing

  • Delivering detailed human health and ecological risk assessments for contaminated sites

  • Leading the development of Conceptual Site Models (CSMs) and exposure assessments

  • Interpreting toxicological, site, and exposure data to inform health/ecological risks

  • Reviewing or preparing site-specific risk-based criteria

  • Advising clients, auditors and regulators on site management strategies

  • Supporting business development and proposal writing

  • Mentoring and training emerging risk assessors within the team
     

What You'll Need

  • Degree in Environmental Science, Toxicology, Environmental Engineering, Chemistry or similar

  • Solid experience in risk assessment roles (consulting or regulator)

  • Strong technical knowledge of NEPM, CRC CARE, enHealth and relevant state-based frameworks

  • Experience working on complex industrial or contaminated land sites

  • Confidence working with multidisciplinary teams and clients

  • A collaborative mindset and genuine interest in mentoring others
     

What's in It for You

  • Work from anywhere — Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide or remotely

  • Competitive salary + tailored perks

  • Exposure to some of Australia's most complex and high-profile risk projects

  • Supportive team of experts who back each other to succeed

  • Leadership pathway with national visibility

  • Real autonomy, flexibility and influence
