As a Senior or Associate Environmental Consultant in Contaminated Sites, step into a Sydney team where the variety, scale and technical depth of work is already there – they just need more strong operators to meet demand.
This is ideal for someone who wants to grow in a technically strong environment without top-heavy politics, with access to national expertise and a clear runway to develop further.
The Role
You’ll independently run your own projects across assessments, remediation, risk and groundwater, supported by grads and mids, plus senior technical specialists nationally.

- Support a growing Sydney team with project delivery, QA and knowledge sharing
- Exposure to large multi-year sites, complex subsurface issues and a mix of government, energy and urban development projects
Who you’ll work with
A strong Sydney group with solid project flow and national resources behind it — hydrogeologists, risk assessors, remediation specialists, and a broad network of technical leads.
The culture is relaxed, engaged and quality-focused with a clear emphasis on supporting career progression.
What you’ll bring
- 5–12 years in contaminated land consulting
- Strong reporting and project management capability
- Confidence coordinating field programs and complex assessments
- Interest in mentoring juniors and growing technically
