• Your day-to-day activities may include field-based environmental monitoring and habitat assessment, preparation of monitoring and mitigation plans, conducting desktop research, preparing permit applications, as well as contributing to technical reports to support decision making.
• Collaboration is one of our core company values and will be a key element in your role, helping to maintain strong working relationships with colleagues, regulatory agencies, construction contractors and wider rightsholders and stakeholders.

About you

• Upcoming graduates of 2026
• Relevant Bachelor’s degree in an Environmental Biology pathway, with field experience in planning, conducting and/or managing biological studies (e.g. wildlife, vegetation, wetlands, fish and fish habitat studies)
