Senior Environmental Planner
We are seeking a Senior Environmental Planner to lead and deliver high-quality environmental planning advice across a varied portfolio of projects. This role will involve managing environmental assessments, planning applications, impact studies and approval processes from initial scoping through to completion. You will work closely with project managers, technical specialists, consultants, regulators, local authorities, communities and other stakeholders to identify environmental risks, develop practical solutions and support sustainable project outcomes.
Key responsibilities include preparing and reviewing environmental impact assessments, planning and approval documentation, environmental management plans, technical reports and supporting evidence. You will coordinate multidisciplinary project teams, oversee external consultants, manage budgets and schedules, and ensure work is delivered to a high professional standard and in accordance with relevant legislation, policies, standards and guidance. The role will also involve providing strategic advice on environmental constraints and opportunities, contributing to proposals and bids, mentoring less experienced staff, and representing project teams at meetings, consultations, hearings and stakeholder events.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in environmental planning, impact assessment, development approvals or a closely related discipline, together with a relevant degree or professional qualification. Strong knowledge of applicable environmental and planning legislation, assessment methodologies and regulatory processes is essential. You will be an effective communicator with excellent report-writing, analytical, organisational and project management skills, and the ability to explain complex technical matters clearly to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. Experience leading multidisciplinary teams, managing competing priorities and building constructive relationships with clients and regulators is highly desirable. A proactive, commercially aware and collaborative approach, along with a commitment to ethical practice, environmental protection and continuous improvement, is expected.
