About the Opportunity

As demand for renewable energy and major infrastructure grows, so does the need for strong ecological leadership. We're looking for a Senior Ecologist to join our expanding Ecology team and play a key role in delivering high-impact projects across Australia.

This is more than a technical position. It's an opportunity to influence how biodiversity services are delivered, mentor others, and help shape the direction of a growing ecology capability within a national consultancy.

If you're ready to step into a visible leadership role where your expertise genuinely matters, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing?

• Facilitate high-quality project delivery across your biodiversity and ecology space.
• Preparing and reviewing technical reports and assessments.
• Leading site inspections and managing field teams.
• Driving continuous improvement in processes and service delivery.
• Managing project budgets, timelines, and resourcing.
• Coordinating internal teams and resources for your project.
• Building strong client relationships and contributing to repeat work and growth.

About You

You are a confident, experienced ecologist who thrives on responsibility and collaboration:

• Biodiversity Assessment Method (BAM) Accreditation (essential).
• Tertiary qualifications in environmental science or a related discipline.
• Proven experience working independently across field, office, and remote sites.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to engage stakeholders at all levels.
• A solid understanding of QA processes and technical governance.
• A collaborative mindset with confidence in managing client relationships.

Why Fyfe:

You'll be supported to grow, lead, and make a meaningful impact. We offer challenging projects, a collaborative culture, and genuine opportunities to shape the future of our ecology services - while working alongside people who are passionate about what they do.

• Work on high-profile, large-scale renewable and infrastructure projects.
• Clear pathways for career progression and leadership growth.
• A genuinely social, collaborative, and inclusive culture.
• Ongoing focus on listening to our people and improving how we work.
• A full calendar of social and networking events.
• Purchased leave options via salary sacrifice.

Fyfe embraces and fosters a culture that supports diversity, inclusion and respect, where people are empowered to fulfil their potential. We welcome people with diverse skills, experiences, perspectives and backgrounds. We are dedicated and committed to attracting and recruiting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and encourage applications from people with disability, people that identify as LGBTQIA+ and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
