Your Opportunity

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

We’re looking for someone with your passion and desire to build long-term relationships with existing and new clients who place value on innovation and deep expertise. You’ll collaborate closely with our broader multi-disciplinary teams to bring Ecological expertise to help shape our strategy for WA.

Ecology isn't just something we do on the side – it's core to our business and our true passion. 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 is how we work as one team, not as regional centres; so collaboration, mentorship, and sharing knowledge and expertise is part of our everyday.

As the Ecology Lead based in Perth, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Work on some of Australia’s biggest projects and innovation is always part of the solution here.
• Shape the strategic direction of our ecology solutions and biodiversity offset policy
• Support the development, implementation and tracking of the yearly planning and strategy for the Ecology team
• Guide the growth and development of the team members, honing your coaching and mentoring skills to help cultivate a highly collaborative “one team” culture
• Build strong working relationships with state and Commonwealth regulators and play a role in the development of offset policy by contributing feedback and learnings

Here’s some call outs from the team about what makes this a great place:

“As a national team there’s collaboration, support and opportunities instead of divides.”

“Great culture, values-based organisation that looks after people, interesting and challenging work, I love what I do, I work with an amazing team of super smart people.”

Here’s what you’ll bring:

• Plenty of passion and drive and living and leading with shared values will be in your DNA.
• 8 years plus relevant post graduate experience, preferably gained within an ecological consultancy environment in Western Australia.
• Previous leadership experience and a passion for coaching and mentoring.
• Experience in shaping strategy and business planning.
• Experience in delivering high quality Biodiversity Development Assessment Reports and/or Biodiversity Stewardship Site Assessment Reports.
• Highly developed project management and project delivery skills.
• Have a current/valid unrestricted WA driver's license.

Our goal is to build a team of EMMers that looks like the world around us - and we want EMMers to stay and grow. As part of our efforts to build an EMM for everyone, we embed diversity, equity, and inclusion into our work and we aim to cultivate a sense of belonging throughout the company.

We welcome applications from people with diverse backgrounds regardless of race, colour, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status.
