We are seeking expressions of interest from Field Ecologists wanting to start or further their career in ecological consulting. Be a part of a supportive, skilled, and growing team!
The biodiversity sector continues to grow on the back of new and exciting projects in Umwelt’s portfolio as NSW shifts into a renewable energy future and seeks to balance development with strategic conservation and offsetting outcomes. This growth brings with it amazing opportunity for a passionate early carer ecologist to join a team with secure workflow and incredible project variety. To support our growth, and to deliver on our vision to make a difference, we are seeking Field Ecologists who are looking to start or progress their career in ecological consulting with our NSW ecology team. Our ideal candidate is a graduate that has some prior experience in conducting ecological field work and is motivated to be mobile and develop their technical skills in vegetation and flora identification and targeted species surveys. The successful applicant will strive for quality outcomes, technical excellence and effective communication in a team.
While this opportunity is for a primarily field-based role, the nature of our work is varied and adaptable and Umwelt will support your progression into reporting, project management and technical expertise as your career evolves.
Please note - whilst this role is advertised in Newcastle, we would also consider applications from individuals located in Sydney and Canberra.
