  • Be responsible for meeting deadlines, monitoring budgets and controlling expenditure to meet financial targets in your own area
  • Represent Arup at internal and external meetings
  • Contribute to the development of the environmental team in Queensland, including working with the Team
  • Lead to support and mentor more junior team members
  • Take a longer term strategic view of the business and contribute to the development plan of Arup.
  • Collaborate with Arup’s Business Leaders to identify opportunities, cross-sell and prepare proposals for external clients.

What will I bring?

  • Recognised relevant tertiary qualifications in Town/Urban/Environmental Planning or Environmental Management/Science/Engineering or similar area 
  • 15 years or more of relevant industry experience in delivery of environmental assessments and approvals for major projects within a consulting or Government business environment
  • Relevant industry experience in Renewable energy and development/environmental approvals within a consulting business environment
  • Membership of relevant professional institutions/professional peer bodies
  • Experience in environmental assessments, planning, approvals and leading project teams.
  • Strong technical knowledge within the Queensland market, with sufficient experience and credibility to influence key clients.
  • Explore the perks of a career with Arup Australia:
  • Hybrid working policy and flexible working hours.
  • Paid parental leave for the primary carer of 16 weeks or 32 weeks at half pay and as well as generous unpaid leave benefits.
  • Paid parental leave for the support carer of 4 weeks plus the opportunity to access extra paid and unpaid leave if you later become the primary carer.
  • Birthday leave
