The opportunity

We're expanding our NSW Hazardous Materials & Occupational Hygiene team and looking for experienced consultants to take the lead on major client accounts. The roles can be based on the Central Coast, Newcastle, or our newly refurbished Sydney office. We work hybrid, so you'll enjoy flexibility of working from home when not required on client sites. We will provide financial support for anyone who might have to relocate for the role.
In this role, you'll help elevate EHS standards, protect worker wellbeing, and strengthen client reputations by delivering expert advice that meets both regulatory and best practice benchmarks.

* Provide occupational hygiene advice, including exposure assessment, risk management, and the development of control strategies for chemical, biological, and physical hazards in workplaces
* Oversee the development and implementation of hazardous materials management plans and occupational hygiene monitoring programs
* Ensure all work complies with relevant Australian legislation, codes of practice, and industry standards
* Prepare high‐quality technical reports, risk assessments, and client communications in a timely manner
* Mentor and provide technical guidance to consultants and junior staff, supporting their professional development and knowledge sharing
* Build and maintain strong client relationships, identifying new business opportunities and contributing to tender submissions
* Stay current with industry developments, emerging hazards, and technology trends relevant to hazardous materials and occupational hygiene
About you
* Tertiary qualifications in a scientific field, environmental management/science, health and safety, or occupational hygiene
* Typically 8+ years in hazardous materials management and occupational hygiene consulting
* Demonstrated expertise in conducting hazardous materials surveys, risk assessments, and remediation projects
* Comprehensive knowledge of relevant Australian and state regulations, codes of practice, and standards
* Proven ability to manage complex projects, deliver high‐quality reports, and meet client expectations
* Strong leadership, mentoring, and communication skills
