Do you dream of being part of the renewable energy transition or influencing city-shaping projects? Are you excited to work on some of Australia’s most significant developments? If so, we want to hear from you!
We are a team of passionate and supportive environmental professionals based in our state-of-the-art office in the heart of Newcastle. Our team has well-established networks across NSW and Australia, and we love living and working in Newcastle and the Hunter, Australia’s fastest-growing regional economy.

As part of our Sustainable Legacies Strategy, we embed environmental, social, and governance principles into everything we do.

We are looking for an environmental planner/scientist to join our team and contribute to our mission.
In this role, you will have the opportunity to work on a range of high-profile and complex infrastructure projects across energy, transport, water, industry, and other sectors.

You will be a confident writer and have good communication skills. You will be used to managing your workload to meet time and quality expectations. Ideally, you will have client-facing and project coordination experience, although we will be supportive to help you gain this experience within this role.
