Brisbane | Flexibility built in
Senior Environmental Scientist / Planner
in Brisbane, join a boutique consultancy delivering high-profile environmental impact assessments and approvals across Queensland. This is a team winning more work than they can currently deliver — driven by reputation, relationships and consistent output on major infrastructure and planning projects.
You'll step into a business that balances serious project exposure with a realistic approach to workload. The work is there, the clients are engaged, and the focus now is bringing in experienced planners to help capture and deliver on that demand.
With offices across SE QLD and expansion into Northern NSW, this is a growth phase that creates real opportunity for Senior-level consultants to broaden their scope and step up.
The Role
You'll play a key role in delivering approvals and impact assessments across a genuinely mixed project portfolio - from major infrastructure through to urban and regional development.
Lead and contribute to Environmental Impact Assessments at state and federal level
Prepare EPBC referrals and manage approvals pathways end-to-end
Deliver approvals for Olympic infrastructure, gas pipelines and transport corridors




Support local government and urban development planning projects
Manage project workflows, reporting and delivery across multiple streams
Liaise with regulators, government and project stakeholders
Work across disciplines internally (ecology, GIS, planning) to deliver integrated outcomes
Who You'll Work With
This is a 30+ person consultancy with solid roots in Brisbane and growing offices across the Sunshine Coast and Northern NSW. The leadership team comes from global consultancies but have built a more agile, hands-on environment.
They've established a reputation that's now generating RFT and sole-sourced work faster than they can resource it. Despite that, they've maintained a balanced approach to delivery — avoiding burnout while still operating on high-profile projects.
You'll be surrounded by experienced planners, ecologists and technical specialists, with the ability to move across project types rather than being boxed into one niche.
What You'll Bring
7–12+ years in environmental planning, approvals or environmental science
Strong experience across EIS, impact assessments and approvals pathways
Exposure to EPBC referrals and major infrastructure projects
Ability to manage projects, reporting and client interaction
Background across infrastructure, energy, transport or urban development
