  • Managing field programs, contractors, and junior staff
  • Overseeing data interpretation, reporting and recommendations
  • Liaising with clients, auditors, regulators and internal teams
  • Supporting regulatory approvals and stakeholder engagement
  • Developing proposals and contributing to business development
  • Mentoring junior consultants and building technical capability

What You'll Need

  • Degree in Environmental Science, Engineering, Geology or related field
  • 15+ years of experience in contaminated land consulting in Australia
  • Strong working knowledge of QLD and national legislation (EP Act, NEPM)
  • Excellent writing, reporting and client communication skills
  • A proactive, solutions-focused approach to complex sites
  • Desire to lead, mentor, and grow your technical influence

What's in It for You

  • Based in Brisbane or flexible across QLD regional hubs
  • Competitive salary + performance-based incentives

  • Work-from-home options and flexible schedules
  • A genuinely supportive, ego-free team culture
  • Pathway to technical leadership or site auditor support roles
