The Role
Guided by your peers, you will be completing environmental assessments against environmental legislation as well as Council local laws and policies, providing design development advice to align the projects with regulatory compliance. You will navigate proposals through statutory assessments, while securing timely approvals that will facilitate delivery of Council projects such as road and intersection upgrades, bikeways, structural repair and drainage programmes as well as park upgrades / new parks.

- knowledge of Queensland environmental legislative framework and the ability to apply this knowledge
- a tertiary qualification in a relevant discipline (Environmental Science, Management or Planning) or relevant experience
- possession of a current “C” Class driver’s licence.
In return we can offer you:
- exposure to a large variety of diverse projects, ranging in scale from major transport upgrades, green space upgrades to smaller local park projects
