Environmental Scientist / Project Manager | Contaminated Land

Become the go-to for QGIS & spatial data within a growing CLM team

Stay technical while building your Project Management capability

$80,000 -$100,000 + super

As an Environmental Scientist in Contaminated Land, join a Melbourne team where being good with data is actually useful rather than something that gets handed off to someone else.

This is aimed at someone around the 3-6 year mark who genuinely enjoys the technical side of consulting: getting into the field, gathering good data, making sense of it, mapping it properly in QGIS and then turning the findings into clear, defensible reporting.

You’ll still deliver the full contaminated land lifecycle, but you’ll also become a go-to person for spatial data within the team while gradually taking on more project management responsibility.

The Role

You’ll deliver contaminated land projects while helping improve how the team manages, interprets and presents its spatial data.

Projects currently include:

- Large Due Diligence programs, including one covering 280 sites for an M&A; client
- PSI, DSI, RAP and validation projects across Victoria

Day-to-day, you’ll:

- Plan and coordinate field programs and the spatial datasets that sit behind them
- Use QGIS to organise, interpret and communicate environmental data




- Turn field results into practical mapping, analysis and technically strong reports
- Manage contaminated land investigations from fieldwork through reporting
- Start taking greater ownership of budgets, programs and project delivery
- Bring ideas around GIS and data management that can improve how the wider team works

The Team

You’re joining a strong national environmental consultancy with the resources and technical depth to tackle major projects, without every decision disappearing into layers of corporate approval.

The Melbourne team has built a strong pipeline despite a tougher Victorian market. You’ll work under an experienced and approachable local leader, with room to suggest better ways of doing things and actually see those ideas put into practice.

There’s also genuine flexibility, professional development support and access to specialists across contaminated land and related environmental disciplines.

Experience

- Around 3-6 years’ environmental consulting experience
- Contaminated land experience across fieldwork, investigation and reporting
- Working knowledge of QGIS and a genuine interest in spatial data and interpretation
- Environmental Science, Engineering or related degree
- $80,000 - $100,000 + super
