Senior Environmental Consultant (Contaminated Land) to step into a Newcastle team where the projects are rolling in. This role seeks a safe set of hands to take ownership of reporting, delivery, and keep things moving.
This role is about technical execution. If you've spent the last few years building your technical capability and want to actually use it - this is it.
The Role
You'll take ownership of contaminated land projects across a genuinely varied portfolio, supporting the team lead while guiding juniors.
- Lead PSI / DSI reporting and technical delivery
- Oversee remediation works including complex legacy sites
- Mentor junior consultants and grads on reporting and fieldwork
- Manage multiple projects concurrently — keeping delivery tight
- Act as the go‐to for quality output across the team
Projects include
- Slag remediation works
- Former power station (diesel + complex contamination)
- Coal mine closure and decommissioning projects
- Waste and resource recovery sites
- Singleton Bypass infrastructure project
- Landfill reopening and regulatory‐driven works
Who You'll Work With / Culture Fit
This is a practical team: no egos, no over‐engineering, just people who want to deliver good work.
The Newcastle office has historically been held back by location, hence the move into the CBD. The intent is simple: attract better people, build a stronger team, and keep momentum going.
You'll be working directly with a hands‐on team lead and two juniors who need guidance - not micromanagement, just someone who knows what good looks like.
What You'll Bring
- 6–8 years' experience in contaminated land consulting
- Strong technical reporting capability (PSI, DSI, remediation)
- Comfortable running projects without hand‐holding
- Experience mentoring or supporting junior staff
- Solid understanding of NSW regulatory framework
