Job description

What if you could do the kind of work the world needs? At WSP, you can access our global scale, contribute to landmark projects and connect with the brightest minds in your field to do the best work of your life. You can embrace your curiosity in a culture that celebrates new ideas and diverse perspectives. You can experience a world of opportunity and the chance to shape a career as unique as you.

At WSP, you’ll be part of a global network of passionate professionals working on projects that matter — from landmark infrastructure to sustainable resource development. You’ll collaborate with some of the brightest minds in the industry, explore new ideas, and grow your career in a supportive environment that values curiosity, diversity, and innovation.

This role is a great opportunity to contribute to meaningful environmental outcomes while building your expertise and helping shape the future of our Environmental Approvals team. You’ll work alongside talented colleagues on high-impact projects that benefit communities across Australia.

Whether you're looking to take the next step in your career or bring your experience to a team where your ideas are valued, we’d love to hear from you.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for an enthusiastic and experienced environmental professional to join our growing team. In this role, you’ll help lead and deliver environmental approvals and planning projects across Australia, with a focus on resource developments and major infrastructure initiatives.

Your Day-to-day Might Include

  • Leading or supporting environmental assessments and planning projects, particularly in the resource and infrastructure sectors.
  • Coordinating multidisciplinary teams to help deliver approvals that align with project and client goals.
  • Contributing to proposals and business development activities in a collaborative, team-oriented way.
  • Working closely with clients, project managers, and technical specialists (ecologists, acousticians, contaminated land scientists, engineers, designers) to develop practical, forward-thinking solutions.
  • Using data to design monitoring programs and assess environmental impacts of major developments.

About You

You’re someone who enjoys working collaboratively, solving complex problems, and making a positive impact. You’ll play a key role in shaping best-practice environmental outcomes and supporting the growth of our team.

We’re open to a range of backgrounds and experiences, but ideally, you’ll bring :

  • A degree in Environmental Science, Environmental Management, Urban Planning, Ecology, or a related field (postgraduate qualifications are a bonus)
  • Around 5–10 years of experience in environmental planning and approvals
  • Experience contributing to or leading projects related to environment impact assessment and approvals, especially in the WA resources sector
  • A solid understanding of environmental legislation and policy frameworks in Australia
  • Familiarity with GIS, data analysis, or digital tools for environmental assessment (helpful but not essential)
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset
  • A passion for mentoring and team development (for senior candidates)
  • If now isn't the right time for you, or you aren't quite mid-career, still reach out! There is always an opportunity to discuss when and how you could become part of our team.

    Imagine a better future for you and a better future for us all.

    Join our close-knit community of talented individuals who share your passion for making a positive impact. Our global team includes more than 73,000 employees, working together to make a difference in communities both close to home and around the world.

    An employee Share Purchase Plan is available to all our permanent employees who wish to become owners and vested partners in WSP’s collective success. To find out more about our commitment to the health and wellbeing of our people, and the programs we’ve designed to help you thrive, go to our Employee Benefits page.
