You'll:
n
n
Guide the direction and structure of environmental approvals and impact assessments
n
Be a central contributor to report content without doing the heavy writing
n
Mentor juniors and support the broader project delivery team
n
Play a client-facing, regulatory liaison role

This isn't just a delivery job, it's about influence, insight, and growth.
n
The Culture

Now a team of 30, this business has scaled steadily and sustainably.



There's a transparent strategy in place, and plenty of runway left for further growth.
n
You'll be surrounded by a mix of technical experts across Environmental Planning, Ecology, Landscape Architecture and GIS. The team is collaborative, capable, and low-ego—people who want to do good work, without the usual corporate grind.
