Join the Adventure! At Scout we’re on a mission to change the way the world values biodiversity. Join our small highly specialised team who measure biodiversity through adventure. Grow your career by working on large complex reserve-scale vegetation mapping and strategic biodiversity offset delivery projects across every corner of NSW. You’ll be part of a fun crew who love using cutting-edge tech to explore wild landscapes and are not afraid to camp, hike and extract the occasional leech. Your adventurous career: We have a rare opportunity for a Senior Botanist to join our Newcastle team. Our experienced and slight quirky team can assemble a swag in record time, know where to find the best coffee west of Bourke and believe biodiversity deserves more than box-ticking. Every project we work on is grounded in science and delivered with integrity. At Scout, you’ll work on projects from start to finish - from field to final report. That means getting out into rainforests, deserts, wetlands, grasslands - wherever biodiversity calls. When you're not in the field, you’re working in our sunny Newcastle HQ, just a stone’s throw from the beach. Are you our next Scout?
