Own client relationships and influence strategy, not just deliver reports
Boutique consultancy with national capability, major projects and zero bureaucracy
As a Project Manager | Senior Environmental Scientist, you'll join a boutique national consultancy that combines the project diversity and technical capability of a much larger business, without the layers of management, bureaucracy or internal politics that often come with it.
You'll become a trusted advisor to your clients, helping them develop practical contaminated land strategies, solve complex problems and make informed decisions. You'll have genuine influence over projects, client relationships and the future direction of the business, while being recognised and rewarded for your contribution.
The bonus structure is genuinely exceptional, with25% of company profits distributed amongst employees.For many, it has delivered bonuses exceeding those earned by Principals at some of Australia's largest consultancies.
Importantly though, this role isn't designed to attract someone chasing bonuses alone. It suits someone who enjoys quality consulting, building long-term client relationships and taking pride in delivering outstanding work, with the profit share becoming a significant reward for doing exactly that.

Project Management across Preliminary & Detailed Site Investigations (PSI/DSI)
Remediation planning, validation and contaminated land strategy
Managing large Council portfolios and infrastructure clients
Groundwater investigations and contamination assessments
Providing practical technical advice directly to clients
Building trusted client relationships and becoming their first point of contact
Mentoring junior consultants throughout project delivery
Working closely with Directors to influence technical direction and business growth
Travel forms part of the role, with occasional trips away providing exposure to a wider variety of projects and clients than you'd typically see within a metropolitan-only consultancy.
The Team
The business has built a reputation for producing high-quality technical work whilst maintaining the agility and culture that larger consultancies often lose as they grow.
You'll work alongside experienced consultants in a collaborative, high-performing environment where ideas are welcomed, contribution is recognised and people are trusted to do what they do best.
There is genuine chance to influence how projects are delivered, strengthen client relationships and help shape the future of the business as it continues to grow.
