Senior Environmental Consultant
Position: Senior Environmental Consultant

About the Role
We are seeking an experienced environmental professional to join a growing consultancy supporting mining and resource sector clients across Western Australia.

- Support environmental approvals, compliance and operational environmental management requirements.
- Coordinate field programmes and subcontractors where required.
- Contribute to business development and client relationship management.
About You
- Degree in Environmental Science, Environmental Management, Ecology, Natural Resources or related discipline.
