Are you an experienced project leader or consultant who builds trusted client relationships, motivates teams and takes ownership of delivering quality outcomes? With a strong pipeline of projects and continued growth, we are seeking an experienced candidate to join our Contaminated Land team here in the Melbourne office. We are open to candidates at different seniority levels,



with the scope of the role shaped by experience and capability.

About The Role

We’re looking for an experienced professional to join our Contaminated Land team in Melbourne and are open to candidates across a range of seniority levels, from Senior Environmental Consultant, Associate and Senior Associate through to Principal, depending on experience and capability.

As a senior member of the team, you’ll be a key point of contact for clients, taking ownership of project delivery, building strong relationships and supporting the development of others. You’ll bring sound technical judgement, commercial awareness and a proactive, hands-on approach to getting things done.

For more senior candidates, particularly at Principal level, the role will also involve greater responsibility for strategic client relationships, business development, team leadership and project oversight.

- Lead and coordinate contaminated land projects, taking ownership of scope, budgets, delivery, quality and client outcomes.
- Communicate clearly and respond promptly to clients and internal stakeholders, proactively addressing issues and keeping people informed.
- Prepare and review proposals, reports and project documentation with strong attention to detail, commercial awareness and appropriate risk management.
- Lead, mentor and support project teams, setting clear expectations, delegating effectively and fostering accountability and collaboration.
- Identify opportunities to strengthen existing client accounts and contribute to business growth and recent work.
- Provide practical technical guidance, identify project risks early and escalate or resolve issues with sound judgement.

About You

- Demonstrated experience in contaminated land consulting, with the level of experience and technical capability corresponding with the position.
- Previous team leadership, staff supervision or people management/development experience would be highly regarded, but is not essential.
- Highly organised with excellent attention to detail, a responsive approach and a transparent sense of ownership and accountability.
- Strong initiative and the ability to solve problems, manage competing priorities and follow through on commitments.
- Ability to scope and price work, prepare or review quality technical documentation and understand project commercial performance.
- Relevant tertiary qualification in environmental science, engineering or a related discipline, and a full driver’s licence. Willingness to obtain relevant clearances where required.
- Strong client-facing communication and relationship-building skills; confident presenting to clients and representing JBS&G; professionally.
- Sound foundational technical understanding of contaminated land assessment, remediation and relevant regulatory requirements, with the judgement to seek specialist input when required.
