Senior / Principal Environmental Approvals Consultant

My client is a large, global infrastructure and environmental consultancy with a well-established environment team in Perth. Their impact assessment and approvals team has a strong pipeline of major projects across energy, transport, mining and defence, and they need another experienced approvals person to help deliver it.

They're open on level, Senior through to the lower end of Principal, but they want a doer - someone who enjoys preparing and running assessments and approvals themselves.

Mining experience is preferred, and they're happy to look at people from the mining side who haven't worked in consulting before.

The work will include

• Preparing and coordinating environmental impact assessments, approvals documents, constraints assessments and environmental management plans
• Working with multidisciplinary project teams to pick up environmental risks early and build them into planning, design and delivery
• Dealing with clients, regulators and stakeholders to keep projects moving
• Running your own projects, including programmes, budgets and deliverables
• Helping with proposals and growing the team's client base
• At the more senior end, reviewing reports and mentoring junior staff

What you'll need

• Solid experience in environmental impact assessment and approvals - this is the key requirement
• Good knowledge of WA State and/or Commonwealth assessment and approvals processes (e.g. Part IV, Part V and EPBC)
• Clear, well-structured report writing
• Experience from consulting, government or industry
• A degree in environmental science, environmental management, planning or a related field

What's on offer

• Salary negotiable depending on experience
• Hybrid working with flexible start and finish times
• The option to buy up to 6 weeks' extra leave a year and swap public holidays
• Paid study leave and professional development support
• Major project work with the backing of a large national team
