Principal Ecologist – Discipline Lead to assume leadership of the Brisbane Ecology line for a Global Sustainability & Design Engineering Consultancy.

Traditionally, the Ecology business line has just supported the larger infrastructure projects but the goal here is to create a stand-alone service offering that services internal projects as well as bringing in sole sourced workflows in Ecology.

The Role:

The goal is Terrestrial Flora / Fauna to feed into larger Environmental Planning projects, Offsets, Biodiversity programs and broader horizons like solar, wind and hydrogen renewables projects which this team is strong in from an Engineering Design capacity.
Current long term projects in Transport Infrastructure spanning 2-3 years which will provide a base load of Ecological work for you to create a solid foundation upon which you can build your dream team!
To be clear, this is a fresh build for no reason other than the team has dissipated over the years due to a lack of leadership to steer the ship. This is your opportunity to do what you love, within a brand that clients love!
Build the team to be a standalone function to match yours & the consultancy’s vision & strategy.
Charge out will be circa 60% which will dimmish as the team grows
You will have so much available to you in terms of resources, clients, projects and sit in a wider Enviro team of around 15.
Whilst as an Ecologist, you’re expected to do the technical elements of Ecology (Flora/Fauna Management Plans, Vegetation Mapping, Ecological Impact Assessments, Offsets etc), this role really will suit a more operationally minded individual who enjoys the business side of Ecological consulting.
Despite a strong track record of Ecology spanning 20 years in Qld, they are not known in the market for delivering this type of work, make a name for the firm & yourself.
For the right person, this will be a very fun adventure and a certain resume builder!
15+ years experience, circa $200k.

The Consultancy:

This is a highly reputable Global Sustainability and Design Engineering Consultancy with people and culture at the heart of all they do, you can feel the camaraderie in this group by both reputation and when you meet in person.

Benefits:

Employee owned
Very flexible WFH arrangements
Purchase additional leave
Local and Global profit share
Parental Leave 12 weeks full pay, full super for unpaid leave up to 52 weeks
Novated Car Lease
Interest Free Bicycle Loans!
Birthday leave
