Your Opportunity
If this truly speaks to you, this is the opportunity, the next step, the place where your ambitions become an achievable reality.
We're looking for someone with your passion and desire to build long‐term relationships with existing and new clients who place value on innovation and deep expertise. You'll collaborate closely with our broader multi‐disciplinary teams to bring Ecological expertise to help shape our strategy for WA.
Ecology isn't just something we do on the side – it's core to our business and our true passion. We've brought together an amazing team of ecologists, dedicated to leading the way in the assessment of terrestrial and aquatic flora and fauna, navigating development pathways and influencing the development of offset policy.

* Shape the strategic direction of our ecology solutions and biodiversity offset policy
* Support the development, implementation and tracking of the yearly planning and strategy for the Ecology team
* Guide the growth and development of the team members, honing your coaching and mentoring skills to help cultivate a highly collaborative "one team" culture
* Build strong working relationships with state and Commonwealth regulators and play a role in the development of offset policy by contributing feedback and learnings
Here's some call outs from the team about what makes this a great place:
"As a national team there's collaboration, support and opportunities instead of divides"
"Great culture, values‐based organization that looks after people, interesting and challenging work, I love what I do, I work with an amazing team of super smart people"
Here's what you'll bring:
* Plenty of passion and drive and living and leading with shared values will be in your DNA
* 8 years plus relevant post graduate experience, preferably gained within an ecological consultancy environment in Western Australia
* Previous leadership experience and a passion for coaching and mentoring
* Experience in shaping strategy and business planning
* Experience in delivering high quality Biodiversity Development Assessment Reports and/or Biodiversity Stewardship Site Assessment Reports.
* Highly developed project management and project delivery skills.
