Job Description

Australian Environmental Auditors (AEA)

Are you an experienced environmental professional looking to take the next step in your career? Join our client, Australian Environmental Auditors (AEA) as a Senior Technical Assistant (Landfill) and play a critical role in delivering high-quality, scientifically robust environmental audits that support regulatory compliance across major landfill operations.

About the Role

This is a pivotal technical and coordination role, acting as the essential link between complex environmental data and final regulatory outputs. Reporting to the National Landfill Manager (NLM) for day-to-day operations, you will work with a high degree of autonomy to streamline auditing processes and ensure the delivery of accurate, compliant, and defensible technical outcomes.

Working closely with AEA’s Landfill team, you will contribute to projects that demand precision, analytical thinking, and a strong understanding of environmental monitoring systems.

Key Responsibilities

  * Analyse complex environmental data from landfill monitoring programs to identify trends, risks, and compliance issues

  * Assist in the detailed review of technical reports, work plans, and site investigations

  * Prepare and draft high-quality technical reports and professional correspondence for regulatory submission

  * Develop clear, evidence-based recommendations to minimise environmental impacts

  * Liaise with clients to clarify and validate monitoring data and technical assessments

  * Participate in occasional site visits (approximately every 4–6 weeks) to strengthen technical understanding of landfill operations

What Your Day Looks Like

This is primarily a desk-based analytical role, focused on interpreting environmental data and translating findings into clear, actionable insights. You’ll balance multiple projects, collaborate with technical experts, and ensure all outputs meet stringent regulatory requirements—while occasionally visiting sites to maintain practical context.

Skills, Experience & Qualifications

  * Bachelor’s degree in Geology, Earth Science, Environmental Science, Civil/Environmental Engineering, or a related discipline

  * Minimum 5 years’ experience in an environmental science, engineering, or similar technical role (landfill experience preferred)

  * Strong ability to interpret and extract key insights from complex environmental reports and datasets

  * Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (data analysis) and Word (professional report writing)

  * Excellent written communication skills with a high level of grammatical accuracy

  * Exceptional attention to detail and commitment to data integrity

  * Strong organisational and time-management skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities

  * Experience in consultancy, industry, or regulatory environments highly regarded

What We Offer

  * Competitive salary package

  * Relocation support (dependent on candidate)

  * Opportunity to work alongside highly knowledgeable environmental professionals

  * Exposure to statewide projects with real environmental impact

  * A collaborative, technically driven work environment with strong professional development opportunities

If you’re ready to contribute to meaningful environmental outcomes and thrive in a technically challenging role, we encourage you to apply. Please send a cv or call (+44) (phone number removed) quoting reference M9657
