At Ecosure, our vision is for ecosystems worldwide to thrive with natural brilliance.

Our audacious goal is that by 2030 we have improved the ecosystems of 100 million hectares and 1,000 islands worldwide.

We're one of Australia's largest fully certified environmental consultancies, delivering innovative environmental solutions across infrastructure, resources, energy, government and conservation sectors. Our people are passionate about making a genuine difference and enjoy a workplace culture that is collaborative, optimistic and high performing.

As our wildlife services business continues to grow, we're looking for a Project Manager - Wildlife Services to join our Central Queensland team.
