* $200,000+ Base | Technical or Leadership Pathway
* Defence, T2D, Petroleum & Major Infrastructure Projects
* Shape the Role Around Your Strengths
Principal Environmental Scientist, Contaminated Land – this Adelaide opportunity is less about forcing you into a predefined role and more about building around what you're actually good at.
A growing contaminated land team needs another experienced senior operator to help support a strong pipeline of work across SA, NT and WA. The interesting part is the flexibility.
* Love technical delivery and client management? Lean into that.
* Prefer mentoring, scheduling and helping guide a junior-heavy team? That works too.
* Or combine both.
You'll step into a genuine 2IC-style position helping free up senior leadership to focus on growth, clients and strategy while you help drive delivery internally.
The Role
* Technical delivery and review of complex contaminated sites projects
* Client liaison and proposal writing across key accounts
* Mentoring and supporting a CLM team of 12
* Defence, petroleum, renewables and civil infrastructure project exposure
* Major projects including T2D Tunnels and Australian Naval Infrastructure
* Flexible role structure depending on whether you prefer technical leadership, people leadership or both
This is not a boxed-in Principal role buried in reports and internal admin.
You'll have autonomy, visibility and influence.
What You'll Bring
* 10+ years contaminated land consulting experience
* Strong understanding of SA legislation and project delivery
* Ability to manage clients and mentor consultants
* Experience across Defence, infrastructure, petroleum or industrial sectors highly regarded
