Job description

Join a growing Queensland environmental team where you will influence major infrastructure, energy, water, defence and resource projects while shaping environmental outcomes for regional communities. We have several long-term environmental programs in Central QLD and numerous opportunities for work across multiple sectors that will benefit from your environmental expertise.

CQG Consulting (CQG) has recently become part of Beca, one of Asia Pacific's largest independent advisory, design and engineering consultancies. Together CQG and Beca are strengthening our environmental science, ecology, GIS, stakeholder engagement, planning and approvals capability across regional Queensland. Both CQG and Beca have built their businesses on trusted relationships, outcome-focused advice and a strong understanding of their clients and the communities in which they work.

The Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced Environmental Scientist to lead our environmental monitoring programs. The role will see you design and manage monitoring programs, coordinate teams, interpret environmental data, assess compliance and prepare high-quality scientific reports. Providing technical leadership across monitoring programs, with the opportunity to work on major infrastructure, energy, water, Defence and resource projects.

You will be responsible for the effective delivery of environmental monitoring programs, particularly surface water and groundwater monitoring, and assess the data for Environmental Authority compliance reporting.

While this is primarily a program management, technical and reporting role, you will need a strong practical understanding of environmental field sampling and equipment.

You will occasionally undertake or oversee field activities, particularly where technical expertise, troubleshooting or quality assurance is required.

You will also play an important role in ensuring junior staff and field teams are applying appropriate sampling techniques and quality assurance procedures.

You will be a key part of a tight-knit team of trusted advisors, scientists and environmental specialists, committed to meeting the environmental goals for projects of all sizes.

As a team we strive to provide sustainable, culturally sensitive and pragmatic solutions that contribute to making every day better.

We also like to have fun along the way, so a good sense of humour will hold you in good stead.

About You

You will ideally have a degree or diploma in chemistry, environmental science, environmental engineering, earth science, natural resources or a related discipline, as well as a demonstrated experience managing environmental monitoring programs.

Strong practical knowledge and demonstrated experience of surface water, groundwater sampling techniques will enable you to supervise, mentor or training junior environmental staff.

You will also have experience in assessing environmental data against Queensland Environmental Authority conditions and regulatory requirements, a strong understanding of sampling QA/QC, laboratory analysis and data quality requirements.

Knowledge of the Queensland Environmental Protection Act 1994 and relevant environmental legislation, guidelines and standards is a must, and you will have experience using Monitor Pro or similar environmental data management and reporting software, or the demonstrated ability to quickly learn new systems.

Due to the nature of the work you will enjoy the opportunity to undertake occasional regional and remote travel when required.

If you are successful in your application for this role you will be employed by CQG, a Beca company.
