Lead an established Hazmat team of approximately six without inheriting a heavy BD target. Hawthorn / Melbourne base with hybrid flexibility; Directors and Operations support around you.
As a Team Leader in Asbestos, Hazardous Materials & Mould, you will have more say over how projects and people are run, while remaining close to the technical work, clients, and projects. You will be responsible for setting the pace, helping consultants make decisions, and ensuring multiple jobs keep moving.
This is a delivery-led leadership position across asbestos, hazardous materials, and mould consulting. You will manage repeat clients, coordinate the team, and remain technically involved across various sectors including healthcare remediation, commercial property portfolios, rail and transport infrastructure, government work, and asbestos removal projects.
You will:
- Lead and mentor approximately six Hazmat consultants
- Coordinate workloads, project resourcing, priorities, and deadlines
- Manage multiple concurrent projects and repeat client relationships
- Oversee asbestos and hazardous materials surveys and risk assessments
- Deliver and oversee visual clearances and asbestos air monitoring
- Review technical reports, scopes, and project documentation
- Work directly with clients, removalists, and project teams
- Keep standards high around technical quality, responsiveness, and delivery
- Remain approximately 65–75% billable rather than moving completely off the tools
The team is part of a growing tier-two environmental consultancy that is substantial enough to handle major programs and multi-site portfolios, yet small enough to easily communicate with Directors. The Hazmat function is being restructured around clearer Team Leader positions, with support from Directors, other technical leaders, operations, BD, and an in-house laboratory.
Experience required includes:
- 5+ years' Hazmat / asbestos consulting experience; 7+ years is ideal
- Strong asbestos inspections, air monitoring, and visual clearance experience
- Good understanding of Victorian asbestos requirements
- Confidence managing several projects and client priorities simultaneously
- Strong technical reporting and QA skills
- The ability to mentor people, set expectations, and keep delivery moving
- Mould experience is useful but not essential
- Relevant environmental, science, occupational hygiene, WHS, or engineering qualifications
Salary range is $95,000 - $110,000 + super + TOIL, with flexibility towards $120,000 for a strong candidate.
