Job Description
Associate / Principal Environmental Consultant – Contaminated Land
n
Build Queensland's CLM capability around work that already exists
n
Major infrastructure pipeline with national technical support behind you
n
Associate / Principal Environmental Consultant in Contaminated Land to take ownership of a Queensland capability that, right now, is being delivered largely through subcontractors.
n
That's the interesting bit. You're not being asked to manufacture a business case for building a team. The projects are already coming through major infrastructure and environmental approvals work. The chance is to take an existing stream of demand, bring the technical capability in-house and gradually build a team around it.
n
It's the appeal of building something without the usual terror of starting with a blank spreadsheet and a BD target.
n
The Role
n
Initially, you'll become the technical go-to for Contaminated Land in Queensland, overseeing work currently delivered by external specialists while putting the foundations in place for an internal team.
n
You'll:
n
n
Provide technical direction across Contaminated Land projects
n
Review reports, documentation and technical outputs
n
Manage and coordinate subcontractors currently delivering the work
n
Work across major infrastructure and environmental approvals projects
n
Connect with Environmental, Engineering and Geotechnical teams to identify where CLM expertise can add value
n
Draw on established Contaminated Land specialists interstate for technical support and collaboration
n




Shape how the Queensland capability operates as work transitions in-house
n
Recruit and develop the team as the local workload continues to grow
n
Build relationships with existing clients and internal project leaders rather than spending your week cold-selling for work
n
n
The Team
n
You're joining a large multidisciplinary consultancy where Contaminated Land expertise already exists nationally. Queensland is the missing piece.
n
That gives you an unusual combination: autonomy to shape the local function, but access to established technical people, systems and multidisciplinary teams rather than having to figure everything out yourself.
n
This also isn't designed as a traditional rainmaker role. Commercial awareness matters, but the opportunity is much more about being technically credible, connecting well with people and spotting opportunities already sitting within existing projects and relationships.
n
Experience
n
We're looking for someone who can credibly operate at Associate or Principal level, including:
n
n
Strong Contaminated Land consulting experience
n
Technical depth across investigation, assessment and related CLM work
n
Experience reviewing reports and providing technical direction
n
Confidence managing projects, clients and multidisciplinary stakeholders
n
Ability to oversee external resources before progressively building an internal team
n
An interest in building a capability, not simply inheriting one
n
Strong relationship skills without needing to be a pure BD operator
