$100,000 – $165,000 + super (on experience level)
Newly formed Ecology team of five – high energy, no egos, great culture
Olympic Infrastructure, Renewables and Transport projects
Sustainable development focus – no mining or gas work
This team is looking for a couple of Ecologists to step into their quickly growing team of currently 5 Ecologists - but with scope to be 10+ within the next few months.
The work in their Offsets & Impact Assessment space - part of a broader sustainability advisory team - delivering some of Queensland's most influential projects.
This isn't a role buried in bureaucracy or box-ticking. The team is five strong, led by a brilliant Principal who's fostered a culture that's genuinely collaborative, fun, and buzzing with momentum.
Ecologist - 4-6 years looking for mentorship & some seriously interesting projects to dig their teeth into.
A technically confident Senior (6+ yrs) who can guide, review and advise on the complex ecology components that underpin major approvals work.
Day to day, expect to :
Deliverables across QLD terrestrial flora and fauna assessments
Develop and interpret offset strategies in line with state and federal legislation
Liaise directly with clients (including government and infrastructure agencies)
Provide ecological advice within the EPBC referral and state approvals frameworks
Support and mentor junior ecologists, sharing knowledge across field and reporting work
Balance technical delivery with high-level review and strategic input on key infrastructure projects
The Environment
The group sits within a large, globally recognised sustainability advisory practice - but the Brisbane ecology team feels like a small studio : fun, relaxed, high-performing and deeply aligned to purpose. They've deliberately chosen not to work in mining or gas sectors, instead focusing on projects that drive sustainable urban and regional growth.
You'll be surrounded by peers who are curious, grounded, and technically sharp - people who value doing good work with good people.
Culture is at the heart of everything this Principal wants to build - I was on a call with them the other day and heard someone in the background say (with incredible excitement) - "that's the third threatened species we've found this morning". They have a genuine desire to make a positive impact.
