We would love to hear from you if…

You have demonstrable experience in an environmental role within civil engineering, utilities, or a related industry. You should have a strong understanding of environmental legislation and its practical application in construction and infrastructure projects, along with experience managing environmental risks, developing environmental plans and reports, and interpreting environmental data.

You will be a proactive and solutions-focused individual who can provide expert advice to mitigate risks and ensure compliance with environmental regulations. Your excellent communication and collaboration skills will enable you to work effectively with colleagues, clients, and regulatory bodies, driving best practices and innovation in sustainability.

A degree in Environmental Science (or an equivalent qualification/experience) is essential, along with experience in consents and permitting processes related to construction projects. A genuine passion for environmental protection and continuous improvement is crucial, along with a commitment to identifying new opportunities for sustainable growth.
