Recruitment: Agency Founder (ALRA), Mindset Coach and Podcast Host (The Lone Recruiter), Recruiting Environmental Professionals across Australia for...
* 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
As a Senior Ecologist in the Offsets & Impact Assessment space, join a new, growing ecology group that's 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. The missing piece? A technically confident Senior who can guide, review and advise on the complex ecology components that underpin major approvals work.
The Role
You'll play a key technical role supporting the team across ecological impact assessments, offsets strategy, and client advisory. Day to day, expect to:
* Lead and review technical 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: close-knit, 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.
Experience:
* Strong grounding in QLD terrestrial ecology and offsets
* Impact assessment experience across major infrastructure or renewables
* Working knowledge of EPBC and state environmental frameworks
* Degree in Ecology, Environmental Science, or related discipline
