Field Ecologist

New Ground is a highly regarded Environmental Consultancy firm specialising in ecological assessment for the Resources, Land Development and Extractive Industry sectors. We have already built an enviable reputation of delivering high value project outcomes whilst leaving a positive ecological legacy.
This is a primarily field based role across multiple projects with varying roster requirements. Periodically you will also have the opportunity to be involved in report writing and office based activities. Whilst the office is based on the Gold Coast, due to the cloud based systems report writing can be undertaken remotely for those based outside of QLD.  The role has a focus on the QLD resource sector based in remote areas of central QLD where you will be on a fly in fly out rotation.
This company is seeking Mid-Level and Senior Ecologists with a minimum 3 years’ experience with either flora or fauna background who want to join a company where you can really make a difference and develop your career at the same time. You will have the opportunity to work in collaboration with a dynamic team of professionals utilising the latest equipment & technology. The company systems are designed to ensure the systems work for you, rather than you working for the system.   The company’s senior staff are accomplished and experienced Ecologists with a wide variety of specialties. This company has recently been awarded a coveted Gold Standard for culture and living out its values. If you are looking for a vibrant and friendly culture where you are encouraged and supported in continuing professional development and training, this could be just the role you have been looking for.   If all this sounds too good to be true well it isn’t.   To be successful in this role you will need:  

• Tertiary qualifications in Environmental Science or a related discipline.
• A minimum 3 years of strong field survey and identification experience.
• A solid knowledge of the relevant legislation.
• Be passionate about your field work.
• Have solid report writing ability.
