$120,000 – $140,000 (up to $150k for the right person)
Walk into a team that’s flat‑out with real remediation & infrastructure work

Senior Environmental Consultant (Contaminated Land) to step into a Newcastle team where the projects are rolling in. This role seeks a protected set of hands to take ownership of reporting, delivery, and keep things moving.

This role is about technical execution. If you’ve spent the last few years building your technical capability and want to actually use it - this is it.

The Role

You’ll take ownership of contaminated land projects across a genuinely wide-ranging portfolio, supporting the team lead while guiding juniors.
Lead PSI / DSI reporting and technical delivery
Oversee remediation works including complex legacy sites
Mentor junior consultants and grads on reporting and fieldwork
Manage multiple projects concurrently — keeping delivery tight
Act as the go-to for quality output across the team

Projects include:
Former power station (diesel + complex contamination)
Coal mine closure and decommissioning projects
Waste and resource recovery sites
Singleton Bypass infrastructure project




Landfill reopening and regulatory‑driven works

Who You’ll Work With / Culture Fit

This is a practical team: no egos, no over‑engineering, just people who want to deliver good work.

The Newcastle office has historically been held back by location, hence the move into the CBD. The intent is easy: attract better people, build a stronger team, and keep momentum going.

You’ll be working directly with a hands‑on team lead and two juniors who need guidance - not micromanagement, just someone who knows what good looks like.

What You’ll Bring
6–8 years’ experience in contaminated land consulting
Strong technical reporting capability (PSI, DSI, remediation)
Comfortable running projects without hand‑holding
Experience mentoring or supporting junior staff
Solid understanding of NSW regulatory framework
