$120,000 - $145,000 + super | Ideally 8–12 years' experience
Join 2 strong Senior PMs with a 12-person local CLM team behind you
As a Senior Environmental Consultant in Contaminated Land, join a Melbourne team with the slightly enviable problem of winning a tonne of work.
The pipeline includes Melbourne Airport's 3rd Runway, Airport Rail, waste projects and some substantial due diligence portfolios, including one M&A; client requiring assessments across 280 sites.
They don't need another person simply producing reports. They need an experienced Senior PM who can help turn that workload into well-run projects: steering juniors in the field, reviewing their work, managing reporting and getting quality deliverables up to the Principals for final sign-off.
The Role
You'll sit alongside two very competent Senior PMs in a local CLM group of 12, giving the team another experienced set of hands between its junior consultants and Principals.
You'll:
Project manage PSI, DSI, RAP, validation, waste classification, landfill monitoring and due diligence work.
Deliver major projects across airport, rail, waste and property/M&A; portfolios.
Guide junior consultants through field programs, reporting and day-to-day project delivery.
Review reports and prepare work for Principal sign-off.
Manage project programs, clients and technical outcomes.




Work on sites where there isn't always a neat EPA guideline telling you exactly what to do, requiring actual judgement around the best pathway forward.
Draw on specialist expertise nationally when projects move beyond standard contaminated land work.
The Team
Locally, you're joining a 12-person contaminated land group with two established Senior PMs and robust leadership above them.
The wider national business has 160+ people, giving you considerably more technical depth than the Melbourne headcount might suggest. That includes a nationally recognised PFAS specialist whose profile within the scientific community also generates significant project work.
There's also a local laboratory, giving the consulting team another useful capability close at hand.
It's a good position for someone who enjoys being technically involved but increasingly gets satisfaction from making projects run properly and helping less experienced consultants become better at what they do.
Experience
Ideally around 8–12 years in contaminated land consulting.
Strong project management and technical reporting experience.
Comfortable guiding junior consultants through fieldwork and reporting.
Experience across PSI, DSI, remediation, validation or similar CLM projects.
Environmental Science, Engineering or related degree.
