Principal Environmental Scientist - Contaminated Sites

$200,000+ Base | Technical or Leadership Pathway

Defence, T2D, Petroleum & Major Infrastructure Projects

Shape the Role Around Your Strengths

Principal Environmental Scientist, Contaminated Land - this Adelaide opportunity is less about forcing you into a predefined role and more about building around what you’re actually good at.

A growing contaminated land team needs another experienced senior operator to help support a strong pipeline of work across SA, NT and WA. The interesting part is the flexibility.

• Love technical delivery and client management? Lean into that.
• Prefer mentoring, scheduling and helping guide a junior-heavy team? That works too.
• Or combine both.

You’ll step into a genuine 2IC-style position helping free up senior leadership to focus on growth, clients and strategy while you help drive delivery internally.

The Role

• Technical delivery and review of complex contaminated sites projects
• Client liaison and proposal writing across key accounts
• Mentoring and supporting a CLM team of 12
• Defence, petroleum, renewables and civil infrastructure project exposure
• Major projects including T2D Tunnels and Australian Naval Infrastructure
• Flexible role structure depending on whether you prefer technical leadership, people leadership or both

This is not a boxed-in Principal role buried in reports and internal admin.

You’ll have autonomy, visibility and influence.

What You’ll Bring

• 10+ years contaminated land consulting experience
• Strong understanding of SA legislation and project delivery
• Ability to manage clients and mentor consultants
• Experience across Defence, infrastructure, petroleum or industrial sectors highly regarded

If you're interested in this position please don't hesitate to hit Apply or contact me for further information. Your approach will be held in confidence.
