The role will involve interpreting environmental legislation and planning policy, identifying project risks and opportunities, and developing practical solutions that support sustainable development and timely project delivery.

Key responsibilities will include preparing and reviewing environmental impact assessments, planning applications, environmental management plans, technical reports, and approval documentation.

The successful candidate will have substantial experience in environmental planning, impact assessment, planning approvals, or a closely related field, together with a relevant degree or professional qualification. You will have a strong understanding of applicable environmental and planning legislation, consent pathways, and consultation requirements. Experience managing complex projects, coordinating diverse stakeholders, and delivering work to agreed quality, budget, and time standards is highly desirable. We are looking for a commercially aware and collaborative professional who demonstrates sound judgement, attention to detail, initiative, and a commitment to high standards of environmental performance. A recognised professional membership and experience in sectors such as transport, energy, infrastructure, urban development, or natural resources would be advantageous.
