Who You'll Work With / Culture Fit

n

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

n

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

n

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.

n

What You'll Bring

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