Environment & Sustainability Consulting (Consulting & Strategy) Salary: banded around $140-180k but negotiable based on the person.
This role for an experienced Senior or Principal Ecologist with experience in offsets is a strategic, divisional build for one of Australia's fastest growing Environmental Consultancies.
They currently have a significant amount of offsets work, but it is handled in an ad hoc way across the Brisbane office. The impetus of this position is to centralise the offsets work into its own division under your leadership.
The Role: Lead the strategy around growth of the offsets capability. Establish a team (currently have one 5-year specialist in this space with many others with the capability) to grow on that. There is a lot of work in extractives (coal) and infrastructure (transmission power, some renewables such as solar and wind farms). Demand for more work is also present. They are not currently strategically addressing workload, so ideally, you will slot into this space. Offset Guidelines (2 versions, mining projects and other projects) – State and Commonwealth offsets legislation (EPBC Environmental offsets policy). With the role being more strategic and commercial, it would likely favour someone looking to make the move away from fieldwork, though the option to handle Offsets Assessments is obviously available if you prefer that work.
If you're a Principal or Senior, there will be plenty of support from the leadership team, with more training provided for the senior level.
Minimum Requirements: Senior - 7+ years of experience. If you're interested in learning more about the above role, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Your approach will be held in confidence.
