We are seeking an Environmental Scientist or Engineer with 2–4 years of relevant industry experience in a Victorian context, to get involved with all aspects of our projects — from project / client management and the preparation of proposals and tenders, through to conducting and managing field programs, data analysis and contributing to the preparation of high-quality reports for our clients.

For the right candidate, this is more than a job. As we grow, there is genuine potential to grow with the business and be rewarded for it through profit sharing, bonuses and business development incentives.

This includes the preparation, planning and delivery of scientific and engineering fieldwork with limited supervision — including the preparation of health and safety plans, the coordination of equipment and the management of subcontractors as required.
• Supervised contribution to the planning, project management and delivery of large and complex projects.
• Undertake fieldwork, including site inspections and environmental sampling of soil, water, ground gas and groundwater, as well as assisting with a variety of other environmental projects as required.

• Undertaking research on relevant legislation and collecting data to inform decision-making and strategies.
• Desktop research and delivery of Preliminary Site Investigations.
• Analysis, interpretation of data and delivery of Detailed Site Investigations.
• Prepare moderate-complexity fee proposals to win work and contribute to the growth and profitability of the company. Support the technical lead on larger and more complex projects and proposals.
