Environmental Project Manager - ALRA

1. No timesheets. Trusted to do the work properly, not chase utilisation
2. Major SA infrastructure projects, including T2D, plus a strong national pipeline
3. Adelaide-based senior PM for end-to-end project delivery.

Senior Environmental Scientist / Project Manager to join a well-established Adelaide consultancy delivering major infrastructure, development and industrial projects across South Australia and nationally.

This role exists because the project pipeline is healthy & long-term. With multiple Principals already in place and a solid bench of juniors handling site execution, the gap is a strong Senior who can confidently run projects end-to-end, lead delivery, and be the main point of contact for clients.

You’ll be predominantly office-based, overseeing projects, reports and teams, with regular site visits for oversight and check-ins

The Role

You’ll take ownership of contaminated land and environmental projects across major transport, development and industrial sites, ensuring delivery is technically sound, commercially sensible and client-focused.

Day to day, that looks like:

1. Project managing a large pipeline of contaminated sites work across SA
2. Leading reporting and technical delivery for PSI, DSI and related investigations
3. Overseeing site teams and subcontractors, with juniors handling most fieldwork
4. Acting as the key client interface on major projects
5. Contributing to large-scale infrastructure programs, including T2D
6. Working closely with Adelaide-based Principals for technical support and review

Who you’ll work with

You’ll sit in an Adelaide office of 50+ people, backed by a national consulting team with deep capability across contaminated land and hazardous materials. Leadership is experienced, present and supportive - not distant or hands-off. This is a place where people stay, largely because they’re trusted to do their jobs properly.

The culture is straightforward: hire good people, give them responsibility, and get out of their way.

What you’ll bring

1. 7+ years’ experience in environmental or contaminated land consulting
2. Strong project management capability and confidence running jobs independently
3. Solid technical grounding across investigations and reporting
4. Comfortable leading projects without micromanagement
5. Full Australian working rights

Salary

$135,000 – $145,000 + super

Reviewed on experience and capability.
