- Make an impact delivering environmental outcomes on transformational projects, across city shaping infrastructure, three waters, iwi, buildings and the Defence Estate works programme
- Develop your career working with, learning from, and being mentored by, industry leaders across a multiple of disciplines, while working in a fun and collaborative culture

**Te kāinga rua | The opportunity**

Build your career delivering transformational environmental projects with a focus on land and groundwater contamination as well as construction environmental risk management, while learning from leading technical environmental, sustainability and related experts. This role will enable you to take the next step in your career, building your technical understanding, developing your consulting skills, working with clients, and leading projects that shape our communities and environment.

You will play a key role in our national Environmental Advisory and Contaminated Land team where you will be delivering projects primarily in Tāmakai Makaurau with opportunity across the North Island, and further afield. You will be joining a team known for our ability to provide high quality environmental consulting advice to a diverse range of clients such as Eke Panuku, the New Zealand Defence Force, Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency, Kāinga Ora, industry organisations and several other local authorities and agencies.

You will have plenty of scope for success in this role, with significant career development opportunities. We will provide you with challenging and complex projects and the chance to build relationships with clients, and provide opportunities to learn from industry leaders and work in a nationwide environmental and sustainability practice. In this role you will be part of a team of experts, working closely with our Community Shaping team including, ecologists, designers and planners delivering projects for clients and the wider business.

You will be an environmental advisor or specialist who is passionate about making a difference and keen to work in a team that delivers great environmental outcomes associated with infrastructure, industrial and development projects.

Ideally you will bring your existing experience in land and groundwater contamination or related environmental management discipline areas including field investigations. Construction site experience would be an advantage, along with an understanding of working with emerging contaminants and/or asbestos in soils. You will also have a working knowledge of the Resource Management Act (RMA), NES (Contamination) and an understanding of resource consent processes. While this position covers technical skills in a broad range of environmental science related disciplines, you will ideally have expertise in contaminated land aspects of environmental science, water quality, construction related environmental risk management and/or assessments of environmental effects with a relevant tertiary qualification in an environmental discipline.

You will also bring your excellent communication and interpersonal skills, displayed by your ability to work with colleagues, clients, and contractors in a collaborative and solution focused manner. This role also requires a high level of written skills, including a demonstrated ability to undertake scientific investigations, analysis, and reporting. This role will suit savvy, innovative and commercially minded people who enjoy working in a team environment and are motivated to be part of, and strengthen, our growing environmental business.
