Are you an experienced bush regenerator looking to step into a leadership role?

At Eco Logical Australia (ELA), we empower our people to drive positive environmental change, and we’re excited to offer an opportunity for a passionate and skilled individual to step into a Team Leader role within our Greater Western Sydney team.

About the role

As a Team Leader with ELA, you’ll be at the heart of transformative environmental work, actively restoring urban, infrastructure, and conservation sites across Western Sydney.

You’ll have the support of our experienced team leaders to help you grow in this rewarding and challenging role. This is a fantastic opportunity to take your bush regeneration expertise to the next level and make a lasting impact on Western Sydney’s natural environment.
