About the role
We are seeking a highly motivated graduate or Early Career person (1-2 years experience) in environmental consulting or onsite environmental management. The role can be based in either of our NSW (Armidale or Newcastle) or QLD (Brisbane) offices.
On a day-to-day basis your work will include a mix of primary approvals (e.g. EIS, Review of Environmental Factors, and modifications), secondary approvals (e.g. EMPs), construction and operational compliance and may include onsite and field works as part of the role.
This is an opportunity to join an emerging company and grow with it. You will be encouraged to pursue your own interests, build relationships with your own clients, and generally step up and make things happen.
About You
Skills and experience
The ideal applicant will have a degree in environmental science, environmental engineering, or urban and regional planning. Some experience in consulting or onsite environmental management would be beneficial but not essential.
As a graduate or Early Career person you will receive guidance and support from senior personnel, but will be encouraged to think for yourself. We believe that 'being thrown into the deep end' with support and guidance is the most effective way to learn and will accelerate your personal and professional growth. It will also provide you with a real sense of achievement and satisfaction.
The location of the role is flexible with our offices in NSW (Armidale or Newcastle) or QLD (Brisbane).
