Join Our Environmental Planning & Approvals Team – Adelaide
We're expanding into South Australia and looking for a Principal Environmental Assessment & Approvals Consultant to lead the delivery of approvals strategy for major clients across SA and nationally. This is a rare opportunity to take the reins, shape our local presence, and help build a high-performing team from the ground up.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Leading environmental impact assessments and regulatory approvals (EP Act, EPBC Act, bilateral processes)
  • Advising clients on approvals pathways, environmental constraints and risk
  • Preparing and reviewing reports, referrals, EIS/EMP documentation and submissions
  • Liaising with state and federal regulators, clients and community stakeholders
  • Mentoring junior staff and building local capability
  • Supporting business development and strategic growth in SA

What You'll Need

  • Degree in Environmental Science, Planning, or related field
  • Extensive experience in environmental approvals in SA or interstate
  • Solid understanding of state and Commonwealth environmental legislation
  • Strong communication and project leadership skills
  • A desire to shape and grow something meaningful — not just maintain the status quo

What's In It For You

  • Build Epic's presence in South Australia — with real autonomy
  • Flexible working arrangements (including WFH and part-time options)
  • Competitive salary + benefits tailored to you
  • Access to complex, career-defining projects
  • A genuinely supportive, no-bullshit team culture
  • National collaboration and mentorship from top-tier experts
