- Support the implementation of environmental management plans and sustainability initiatives
- Prepare and submit environmental reports and documentation as required

**What We're Looking For**:

- Proven experience as an Environmental Advisor or similar role within the construction or energy sector
- Strong understanding of environmental legislation and standards relevant to large-scale infrastructure projects
- Experience doing in-field environmental monitoring tasks such as collecting water samples, ground investigative works, setting up noise and vibration monitoring equipment and ability to present findings
- Good understanding of ISO 14001 EMS and implementation of project CEMP requirements.
- Excellent communication skills, capable of working collaboratively with multi-disciplinary teams
- Relevant qualifications in environmental science, sustainability, or related fields
- Valid driver's license and willingness to travel within the project site

**Why Join Us?**
- Be part of a landmark project driving the future of power infrastructure
- Opportunity for professional development and career progression
- Competitive salary and benefits package
