To be successful, you will have substantial experience in environmental planning, impact assessment, or a closely related discipline, together with relevant tertiary qualifications in environmental science, planning, natural resource management, or a similar field. You will bring strong knowledge of environmental legislation and approval processes, excellent written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to interpret complex technical information and present it clearly to varied audiences. Experience managing projects, mentoring team members, and working across multiple priorities is highly desirable. Strong analytical, organisational, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills are essential, along with a practical, collaborative approach and a commitment to achieving high-quality environmental outcomes.
