Senior Environmental Planner
We are seeking an experienced Senior Environmental Planner to lead and deliver high-quality environmental planning advice across a diverse portfolio of projects. This is an opportunity to influence sustainable development outcomes, support major planning and infrastructure initiatives, and work collaboratively with technical specialists, clients, regulators and community stakeholders. You will provide trusted advice throughout the project lifecycle, from early feasibility and approvals strategy through to assessment, implementation and compliance.
Key responsibilities will include managing environmental planning and impact assessment projects; preparing, reviewing and coordinating environmental reports, planning submissions and approval documentation; interpreting relevant environmental legislation, policies and statutory planning frameworks; and identifying practical strategies to manage environmental risks and opportunities. You will contribute to project scoping, budgets, programmes and quality assurance, while coordinating internal and external consultants to ensure deliverables are accurate, timely and commercially sound. The role will also involve engaging with government agencies, local authorities, landowners and community representatives, responding to technical queries, and presenting clear recommendations to clients and decision-makers.
To succeed in this role, you will have substantial experience in environmental planning, impact assessment, approvals or a closely related discipline, together with a relevant tertiary qualification. Strong knowledge of planning and environmental legislation, assessment methodologies and regulatory processes is essential. You will bring excellent written and verbal communication skills, sound judgement, strong attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities independently. Experience leading multidisciplinary teams, mentoring less experienced professionals and managing client relationships will be highly regarded. A proactive, collaborative approach and a genuine commitment to sustainable development are essential. The role offers the opportunity to work on challenging, high-profile projects and contribute to positive environmental outcomes while developing your technical and leadership expertise.
