About the role
We are seeking a dedicated, site-based Environmental Advisor to join our project delivery team in Southwest Victoria. Reporting to the Environmental Manager, you will play a hands-on, vital role in driving on-site environmental compliance, risk management, and sustainability outcomes across the project footprint.
This role is based on-site on a regular 5:2 roster. Relocation assistance or on-site support will be provided if required.
Key Responsibilities:
• Support the successful site implementation of the project Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and compliance with environmental approvals.
• Conduct routine site environmental inspections, audits, and compliance monitoring across multiple active work areas.
• Monitor the installation and ongoing effectiveness of erosion and sediment controls (ERSED) and other critical site environmental risk controls.
• Investigate any site environmental incidents, identify root causes, implement corrective actions, and prepare timely reports.
• Collate and track environmental performance data, including waste management, water usage, and carbon emissions, to support monthly client and regulatory reporting.
• Partner closely with site construction teams and subcontractors to provide practical environmental advice and promote a strong, proactive environmental and sustainability culture.
• Maintain accurate compliance registers and document control to always ensure site audit readiness.
Skills and experience
• Tertiary qualifications in Environmental Science, Environmental Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Proven experience as an Environmental Advisor or Coordinator, ideally on major civil, infrastructure, or renewable energy construction sites.
• Strong understanding of Victorian environmental legislation, ERSED management, and waste/incident classification systems.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the confidence to influence, collaborate, and build strong relationships with site teams, subcontractors, and stakeholders.
• A proactive, resilient professional who thrives in a fast-paced site environment and can work autonomously when required.
What we Offer
• A rare opportunity to build your legacy on a pioneering, large-scale hybrid solar and BESS development.
• A collaborative and highly professional engineering and delivery team.
• Technical and leadership career progression opportunities within a rapidly expanding global business.
