Whether you're a recent graduate or already have some experience in environmental management, this is an opportunity to build your expertise, broaden your exposure and make a genuine contribution to a project that will leave a lasting legacy.

Where You'll Make an Impact:

• Make a difference on a major infrastructure project: Gain exposure to environmental activities across a complex programme, helping translate environmental requirements into practical actions that support responsible project delivery.
• Turn environmental information into meaningful improvements: Use your analytical skills to interpret environmental data, develop performance reports and highlight opportunities that help teams make informed decisions.

• Develop your expertise while making an impact: Gain valuable exposure to environmental management across a nationally significant programme, learning from experienced professionals while taking ownership of tasks and building confidence in your technical abilities.

What You'll Bring:

• A passion for environmental management: Whether through a relevant degree, qualification or early career experience, you'll be eager to put your knowledge into practice and contribute to positive environmental outcomes.
• An interest in the built environment: You'll be excited by the opportunity to understand how environmental considerations influence major construction and infrastructure projects, with previous industry experience welcomed but not essential.
• A problem-solving mindset: You'll enjoy exploring environmental challenges, interpreting information and working with others to develop practical solutions that make a difference.
• The ability to connect and communicate: You'll be comfortable engaging with colleagues from different disciplines, sharing ideas and helping make technical environmental information clear and accessible.
• A proactive approach to learning: You'll bring enthusiasm, curiosity and strong organisational skills, allowing you to contribute from the outset while continuing to develop your professional capabilities.
