With offices in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, we deliver practical, high-quality solutions for public and private sector clients across the transport and infrastructure sectors.

The Role

We are seeking a mid-level Environmental Planner/Consultant with proven NSW environmental assessment experience. This role is hands-on, managing impact assessments and environmental management documentation for infrastructure projects, including rail, roads, waste, and local government works. You'll work closely with clients, regulators, and stakeholders to deliver approvals efficiently and to a high standard.

  • Undertake client meetings, site inspections and coordinate specialist inputs.
  • Support business development by contributing to proposals and building client relationships.

What We're Looking For

  • Tertiary qualification in Environmental Planning, Environmental Science, or related field.
  • Ideally 3 to 7 years' experience in environmental consultancy, environmental planning or a similar role that meets the responsibilities.
  • Strong NSW experience highly desirable – other States/Territories an advantage.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently manage environmental assessments from start to finish.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with strong attention to detail.

  • Experience in QRC's growth areas is highly valued, including:

  • Sustainability and Infrastructure Sustainability (IS) ratings

  • Ecology, natural capital, biodiversity/nature-related credits, and nature positive strategies
  • Full Australian working rights and C-class driver's licence.

Why Join QRC?

  • Support for professional development and career progression.
