Principal Environmental Scientist – Contaminated Sites …, Adelaide

$200,000+ Base | Technical or Leadership Pathway

Defence, T2D, Petroleum & Major Infrastructure Projects

Shape the Role Around Your Strengths

Principal Environmental Scientist, Contaminated Land – this Adelaide prospect is less about forcing you into a predefined role and more about building around what you're actually good at.

A growing contaminated land team needs another experienced senior operator to help support a strong pipeline of work across SA, NT and WA. The interesting part is the flexibility.

Love technical delivery and client management? Lean into that.

Prefer mentoring, scheduling and helping guide a junior-heavy team? That works too.

Or combine both.

You'll step into a genuine 2IC-style position helping free up senior leadership to focus on growth, clients and strategy while you help drive delivery internally.

The Role

Technical delivery and review of complex contaminated sites projects

Client liaison and proposal writing across key accounts

Mentoring and supporting a CLM team of 12

Defence, petroleum, renewables and civil infrastructure project exposure

Major projects including T2D Tunnels and Australian Naval Infrastructure

Versatile role structure depending on whether you prefer technical leadership, people leadership or both

This is not a boxed-in Principal role buried in reports and internal admin.

You'll have autonomy, visibility and influence.

What You'll Bring

10+ years contaminated land consulting experience

Robust understanding of SA legislation and project delivery

Ability to manage clients and mentor consultants

Experience across Defence, infrastructure, petroleum or industrial sectors highly regarded
