What will you do?
Aurecon's Melbourne Environment and Planning team has a strong capability from project planning and feasibility to construction on a wide range of projects across both Victoria and Australia. You will play an integral part in a team that brings ideas to life for our clients across the built environment, transport, land and water, energy and government sectors.
You will be required to undertake a mix of field-based and desk-based work, with the requirement to travel and work in regional areas on occasion. The candidate will be involved in ecological work for a range of projects, particularly in the renewable energy, transport and Defence sectors. Here are the key things you will do:
* Undertaking ecological field survey, including assessment of native vegetation, flora and fauna, largely in Victoria, but also occasionally on interstate projects.
* Undertaking targeted threatened species surveys, including nocturnal surveys where required.
* Preparation of Ecological Assessment Reports.
* Providing internal ecological advice (to Project Managers and broader parts of the Environment & Planning team) to provide details of findings from ecological assessment, and to outline potential implications for projects.
What can you bring to the team?
You'll have a genuine passion for re‐imagining problems and continuous learning to help shape the future.
The ideal candidate would have experience in botanical and/or zoological field survey, strong report writing skills, be well organised, and be capable of working independently and within a team.
To be successful, you will have:
* At least 3-4 years of experience in ecological consulting in Victoria.
* Working knowledge of Commonwealth and Victorian legislation and policy.
* Tertiary qualifications in botany, ecology or environmental science.
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
* A current Victorian drivers licence.
* Ecological technical skills, preferably botanical and/or bird identification skills.
