Brisbane | Flexibility built in
n
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.

Who You'll Work With
n
This is a 30+ person consultancy with strong 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.
n
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.
n
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.
n

7–12+ years in environmental planning, approvals or environmental science
n
Strong experience across EIS, impact assessments and approvals pathways
n
Exposure to EPBC referrals and major infrastructure projects
