Recruitment: Agency Founder (ALRA), Mindset Coach and Podcast Host (The Lone Recruiter), Recruiting Environmental Professionals across Australia for…

- $120,000 - $150,000 + Car + No Timesheets
- End-to-end project lifecycle delivery across high-impact infrastructure
- Supportive, no-BS leadership under an impressive Principal

As a Senior Environmental Consultant in Contaminated Land, join a team that actually lets you do your job - no micromanaging, no chargeability metrics, no timesheets. Just proper project work, delivered from start to finish.

This is a rare sweet spot for mid-to-senior consultants who’ve done their time in the Tier 1 trenches and are now looking for something better: a company where your autonomy is respected, your projects are yours to own, and your work is backed by a team that values delivery over politics.

You’ll work across a range of public and private sector projects including Sydney Trains panel work, groundwater monitoring for Defence in NSW and ACT, remediation and investigations for Sydney Water D4C, plus high-profile sites like Sydney Airport and Ausgrid.

The Role

This is an end-to-end contaminated land role where you’ll manage projects from investigation through to remediation and validation, with the support of a stable team and solid systems.

You’ll:

- Deliver PSI / DSI / RAP / validation reporting across infrastructure, energy, and government sites
- Liaise with clients and regulators (they want someone client-facing)
- Oversee junior consultants and help support their development
- Manage field programs, sampling, drilling and monitoring programs
- Lead your own portfolio and bring a sense of ownership to your work

Who You’ll Work With

You’ll join a friendly Sydney team of 25,



with 8 CLM specialists, led by a technically sharp, well-liked female Principal who’s known for her hands-on support and genuine interest in her team’s progression. The culture here is simple: get the job done, do it well, enjoy yourself while doing it. No Tier 1 grind. No daily huddles or timesheet quotas. Just smart, capable people doing good work.

What You’ll Bring

- 6–8 years in contaminated land consulting
- Strong field, reporting and client-facing experience
- Degree in Environmental Science, Engineering, Geology or similar
- Ability to manage multiple jobs and keep projects moving

If you're interested in this position please don't hesitate to hit Apply or to contact me for further information. Your approach will be held in confidence.
