About us

Biodiversity Australia is a leading Environmental Management Consulting business focused on sustainable partnerships, economic management, and ecological balance. Proudly Indigenous owned, our head office is on the Gold Coast, with regional offices in the Western Downs, North Queensland, and the Northern Territory. We thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same—and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Join us and work with a team that values client success, teamwork, and integrity.

About the opportunity

We are seeking enthusiastic Fauna Spotter Catchers to join our team. Biodiversity Australia are experiencing an exciting period of growth; both locally in SEQ and farther afield.

• Perform habitat assessments, monitor breeding sites, and develop effective wildlife management strategies

• Liaise with clients, team members, and stakeholders to uphold high safety, ethical, and environmental standards

There are also opportunities to upskill and work across other areas of the business, including Vegetation Management, Pest Management, and Aviation Wildlife Management for those with relevant experience or interest.

About you

To be successful in this role, you will have experience on sites with a high safety standard and encompass a great safety culture. In addition, you will have:

• Demonstrated on-ground experience in a similar role within the building, mining and resource industries, or linear infrastructure on major projects in the planning or implementation stage is preferred
• A relevant qualification in wildlife management, conservation, land management, or a related field is highly regarded
• A solid background in identifying native flora and fauna and conducting field-based data collection
• Experience working on sites with high safety standards; possession of a White Card is essential, with Working at Heights/EWP qualifications considered an advantage
