Lead an established Hazmat team of ~6 without inheriting a heavy BD targetHawthorn / Melbourne base + hybrid flexibility; Directors & Ops support around youEnvironmental Team Leader - Asbestos, Hazmat & Mould$95,000 - $110,000 + Super + TOIL | Flex to ~$120,000 for the right personAs a Team Leader in Asbestos, Hazardous Materials & Mould, step into the bit of consulting that valuable Senior Consultants eventually want: more say over how projects and people are run, without spending your entire week in management meetings.You'll inherit an established team of around six and remain roughly *****% billable.
You're still close to the technical work, clients and projects, but now you're setting the pace, helping consultants make decisions and making sure multiple jobs keep moving.Importantly, you're not being handed a Team Leader title and then quietly told to become the salesperson, operations manager and spreadsheet administrator too.
Directors and dedicated BD resources generate the work, an Operations Coordinator supports the business, and project performance is tracked through established systems.The RoleThis is a delivery-led leadership position across asbestos, hazardous materials and mould consulting.You'll manage repeat clients, coordinate the team and remain technically involved across healthcare remediation, commercial property portfolios, rail and transport infrastructure, government work and asbestos removal projects.You'll:Lead and mentor approximately six Hazmat consultantsCoordinate workloads, project resourcing, priorities and deadlinesManage multiple concurrent projects and repeat client relationshipsOversee asbestos and hazardous materials surveys and risk assessmentsDeliver and oversee visual clearances and asbestos air monitoringReview technical reports,



scopes and project documentationWork directly with clients, removalists and project teamsKeep standards high around technical quality, responsiveness and deliveryRemain approximately *****% billable rather than moving completely off the toolsThe TeamThis is a growing tier-two environmental consultancy: substantial enough to handle major programs and multi-site portfolios, but small enough that you can still get a Director on the phone without submitting a meeting request for next Thursday.The broader business combines environmental consulting, contaminated land, occupational hygiene, laboratory services and landscape / vegetation capabilities.The Hazmat function is being restructured around clearer Team Leader positions.
You'll have support from Directors, other technical leaders, operations, BD and an in-house laboratory rather than being left to run your six-person island alone.There's a new Hawthorn presence alongside the established Geelong office, with Melbourne preferred for this hire and hybrid flexibility available.ExperienceYou don't need to be a 20-year industry veteran.
A strong Senior ready for their first formal leadership role could make a lot of sense here.Ideally you'll bring:5+ years' Hazmat / asbestos consulting experience; 7+ years is idealStrong asbestos inspections, air monitoring and visual clearance experienceGood understanding of Victorian asbestos requirementsConfidence managing several projects and client priorities simultaneouslyStrong technical reporting and QA skillsThe ability to mentor people, set expectations and keep delivery movingMould experience is useful but not essentialRelevant environmental, science, occupational hygiene, WHS or engineering qualifications$95,000 - $110,000 + super + TOIL, with flexibility towards $120,000 for a strong candidate.
