Description du poste

Our client is an established Australian business in the construction materials sector. This is an opportunity to apply your environmental expertise across a diverse operational portfolio and help site teams turn compliance requirements into practical action.

Based at Port Melbourne and reporting to the Senior Environmental Business Partner, you will provide hands-on environmental advice and support across multiple operational sites. The role includes regular site travel within greater Melbourne and visits to regional Victoria and Tasmania as required.

You will combine field inspections with office-based planning, reporting and stakeholder engagement. The role offers an indicative mix of one to two days in Port Melbourne, one day working from home and the remaining time at operational sites, depending on business needs.

About the Role

• Partner with site managers and operations teams to understand environmental obligations, manage risks and improve performance.
• Undertake site inspections, environmental compliance verifications and aspects and impacts register reviews, and track corrective actions through to completion.
• Maintain environmental management plans, registers and operating conditions, and support ground disturbance processes.
• Coordinate monitoring programs, including water and dust, and review, analyse and report data within required timeframes.
• Support regulator liaison, regulatory reporting, incident investigations and the management of environmental complaints.
• Coach site teams, deliver environmental education and support regional improvement plans and the organisation’s environmental strategy.

About You

You are an experienced environmental practitioner who is comfortable in both a site environment and an office. You build credibility with operational teams, negotiate practical solutions and know when an issue needs to be escalated.

• A relevant environmental tertiary qualification, preferably Environmental Science or Environmental Engineering.
• At least five years of relevant environmental experience in heavy industry or a regulator environment. Construction, mining, manufacturing, waste and operational facility experience are valued, as is relevant consulting experience.
• A track record of providing practical environmental support in complex environments, with sound knowledge of regulations, management systems and processes.
• Experience with site inspections, monitoring, environmental reporting and stakeholder engagement, including regulators.
• Strong communication and organisation skills, a pragmatic approach and the ability to manage competing priorities across multiple sites.
• Confidence using environmental information systems and technology, with an interest in improving how work is done.
• Ability and willingness to travel to operational sites across Victoria and Tasmania.

Breadth of experience is particularly valuable. If you have a strong construction background and experience in other operational or consulting settings, this role offers an opportunity to bring that knowledge into an ongoing operational portfolio.

What is on offer

• Up to $150,000 base salary plus superannuation and a $17,000 motor vehicle allowance.
• A permanent full-time role with varied site exposure and support from an experienced Senior Environmental Business Partner.
• A Port Melbourne base with secure parking, flexibility in work location around business needs and one day working from home.
• The opportunity to broaden your experience across a major Australian construction materials business.
