As an experienced project manager, you will confidently manage projects and substantial work packages, including scoping, programming, budgets, quality and delivery. In this role, you will:

• Independently deliver defined workstreams and significant components of larger impact assessment and approvals projects, with limited supervision.
• Prepare and review high-quality environmental assessment documentation, including environmental impact assessments, approvals documentation, technical scopes, constraints and risk assessments, and client advice.
• Coordinate inputs from multidisciplinary technical specialists, ensuring that environmental issues, mitigation measures and recommendations are appropriately integrated into project documentation.
• Identify and analyse complex environmental and planning issues, applying sound professional judgement to develop practical and defensible solutions.
• Engage confidently with clients, regulators, technical specialists and other project stakeholders, representing Ramboll professionally in project discussions, workshops and meetings.
• Support project owners, other project managers and senior technical leaders in structuring and delivering complex assignments, including coordinating tasks and priorities across project teams.
• Provide guidance, review and day-to-day support to junior team members, helping develop their technical and consulting capability.
• Contribute to business development, including client engagement, preparation of scopes, fee estimates and significant sections of proposals, and identification of follow-on opportunities.
• Build sector and client knowledge, particularly in Ramboll's priority Australian markets, and contribute insights and lessons learned across the Impact Assessment team.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of Ramboll's Impact Assessment practice, including technical quality, efficient project delivery, knowledge sharing and collaboration across disciplines and geographies.

We offer genuine opportunities to integrate across teams and borders, and to be involved in projects locally, interstate and internationally with our offices in the Nordics and Europe, North America, and the Asia Pacific Region. We offer all the benefits of working for a large global consultancy - a competitive salary that will be negotiated with the right candidate, flexible working arrangements and real opportunities to further develop your career and to be an integral part of our business strategy planning for future growth.
