Ecologist - permanent
My client is a large, well-established Western Australian infrastructure organisation with a significant operational footprint across the State. They're building out their Environment & Heritage team and have a permanent Ecologist role open.
This is a good opportunity to join a team in a genuine build phase. Growing environmental assessment requirements across their works and maintenance programs mean there's plenty to get into, and a lot of the processes and systems are still being put in place. The work would suit someone happy to roll up their sleeves, get stuck in, and help set things up. There's also some interesting vegetation mapping work running outside the main survey season.
This is a hands-on role supporting the team, with a good mix of field and office work.
