Junior Environmental Advisor

Confluence Water Pty Ltd (Confluence Water), Ventia, Downer and Jacobs joint venture, is one of three consortia delivering services under Sydney Water’s Partnering for Success program. Confluence Water delivers design, construction, maintenance and facilities management services in Sydney Water’s North region, which stretches from Sydney Harbour to the Hawkesbury River and includes the Hills Shire.

Due to a planned expansion into the capital works phase of the program we have an exciting opportunity for a new Environmental Advisor to join our high performing and progressive Environment and Sustainability Team.

You will gain experience on all environmental aspects including acid sulphate soils management, groundwater dewatering and licensing, contamination management, Aboriginal Heritage and Non-Aboriginal heritage management.

Our Environmental and Sustainability Team has quickly formed a strong culture of respect and inclusiveness, fostering a proudly diverse, fun and supportive workplace.

With a team of six strong Environmental Advisors and over twenty specialist environmental advisors (ecologist, hydrogeologists, contamination etc) our team is certainly one to give you great support and a platform to grow your career. You will find plenty of opportunities for engagement on key issues and growth within our business.
