ALRA | Australia's Leading Recruitment Agency – Sydney NSW
PSI, DSI, Remediation & Groundwater Projects Across NSW
Environmental Scientist / Consultant in Contaminated Land ready to move beyond basic site investigations and waste classification work into larger, more technically interesting projects.
A lot of consultants in the 2–4 year experience bracket find themselves stuck delivering the same repeatable work. This role offers something different. You'll be involved in Preliminary and Detailed Site Investigations, remediation programs, validation works and groundwater-focused projects across major infrastructure, rail, development and council portfolios throughout NSW.
You'll still be out in the field, but you'll also be trusted with increasing levels of project responsibility, client interaction and mentoring of junior staff as you develop towards Project Manager level.
The Role
You'll join a well-established contaminated land team delivering investigations, remediation and validation projects across a diverse client base.
Deliver PSI, DSI, remediation and validation projects across NSW
Undertake soil, groundwater and environmental sampling programs
Assist with project management, reporting and client communications
Liaise directly with clients and provide advice on project requirements
Support the supervision and mentoring of junior consultants and graduates




Work across large council portfolios, rail projects, property developments and major infrastructure works
Travel periodically throughout NSW to support field programs and project delivery
Contribute to technical reporting and project planning activities
Who You'll Work With
You'll be joining a team that values practical experience and technical development. The leadership group understands that strong Project Managers are built through exposure, not simply years of service.
You'll work alongside experienced contaminated land professionals who will continue to develop your technical capability while giving you the freedom to build client relationships and take ownership of projects.
For someone sitting in that 2–4 year experience window, it's a genuine prospect to accelerate your career rather than waiting years for responsibility to come your way.
What You'll Bring
2–4 years' experience in Contaminated Land Management consulting
Experience undertaking site investigations and environmental field work
Exposure to contaminated land reporting and project delivery
Relevant Environmental Science, Environmental Engineering or related degree
