Want to lead a truly special team of Ecology specialists and shape the strategic direction of ecology solutions and biodiversity offset policy?

Do you absolutely thrive when leading ambitious and diverse projects that span diverse industries such as renewables, mining, energy and infrastructure?

Did you know that Bat skeletons are almost the same as humans - just smaller and elongated finger bones make the wings? Ok so this isn’t critical to the role but we love a good ecological fact – who doesn’t?!

If this truly speaks to you, this is the opportunity, the next step, the place where your ambitions become an achievable reality.

Ecology isn't just something we do on the side – it's core to our business and our true passion.

At EMM, we've brought together an amazing team of ecologists, dedicated to leading the way in the assessment of terrestrial and aquatic flora and fauna, navigating development pathways and influencing the development of offset policy. What's really special about our team is how we work as one team, not as regional centres; so collaboration, mentorship, and sharing knowledge and expertise is part of our everyday.  Our reputation and expertise in Planning & Environmental Consulting Services means that we get to work on some of Australia’s biggest projects and innovation is always part of the solution here.

Here’s what you can expect and count on in your new role as a Team Leader for our Ecology team:

As our National Ecology Team Leader, you'll have the opportunity to lead an exceptional group and shape the strategic direction of our ecology solutions and biodiversity offset policy.

• Supporting the development, implementation and tracking of the yearly planning and strategy for the Ecology team
• Guiding the growth and development of the team members, honing your coaching and mentoring skills to help cultivate a highly collaborative “one team” culture
• Helping to implement the recruitment strategy for the Ecology team and representing EMM as an inspiring ambassador, helping to share insights and what it means to work here

• Building strong working relationships with state and Commonwealth regulators and play a role in the development of offset policy by contributing feedback and learnings 
• You’ll work with leaders who are truly present and excited to help you to grow
• As we embrace hybrid working – you’ll foster homeworking and collaboration days at our Brisbane office

You probably want to know more about the team and what they think makes EMM different, so here’s what they tell their friends and anyone that asks about their job and what’s it like to work here:

• “Great culture, values-based organization that looks after people, interesting and challenging work, I love what I do, I work with an amazing team of super smart people”
• “As a national team there’s collaboration, support and opportunities instead of divides”
• “My team is key - I work with highly skilled ecologists who are genuine experts in their field. I have autonomy, I'm paid pretty well, and the company culture is focused on the team and the wellbeing of the individuals. EMM walks the talk”
• “Having experienced associates around me I know I have the support to tackle complex problems and development opportunities to manage projects which are more interesting than ones I have managed in the past”
• “We work to the individual's strengths, and also identified areas of growth”

Here’s what you’ll bring:

• Plenty of passion and drive and living and leading with shared values will be in your DNA

• 7 years plus relevant post graduate experience, preferably gained within an ecological consultancy environment
• Previous leadership or coaching and mentoring experience
• Demonstrated experience in strategic thinking and business planning (or be looking to develop this as the next step in your career)
• Ability to manage own time and priorities effectively
• Superior project management and project delivery skills. 
• Have a current/valid unrestricted QLD driver's license

We look forward to hearing from you! When you submit your application, look out for our email confirming safe receipt and important information regarding next steps.
