The position is full-time and based in Tamworth, with hybrid working arrangements available.

• Taking ownership of allocated tasks and proactively identifying solutions

• Assisting senior consultants with project coordination and environmental compliance activities

• Contributing thoughtful and practical ideas to project and business discussions

• Participating in professional development, training, industry events and professional networks

• Maintaining accurate project records and complying with company quality, safety and environmental procedures

• The ability to prepare clear, logical and professionally written reports

• Good time-management and organisational skills

• The ability to manage competing priorities and meet tight deadlines

• A proactive approach and willingness to take ownership of tasks

• The confidence to work independently, including under hybrid or remote-working arrangements

• A collaborative attitude and enthusiasm for becoming a valued member of a small team

• A current Australian driver licence

• A current base in Tamworth or the surrounding region.

Experience in any of the following areas will be highly regarded:

• Ecology, or natural resource management

• Hydrology or water management

• Climate change, climate risk or adaptation

• Environmental assessment, approvals or compliance

You will also need an adventurous spirit and a willingness to travel. Moss Environmental undertakes projects throughout eastern Australia, so the role may involve regular local and interstate travel.

At Moss Environmental, you will have:

• A flexible, Tamworth-based hybrid working arrangement
