Your Opportunity
If this truly speaks to you, this is the opportunity and the place where you’ll be able to have the impact and satisfaction that you’re craving. We have a wonderful opportunity for an established ecology leader to join a fast-growing consultancy and help shape EMM’s ecology offering across Australia and globally.
Ecology isn’t just something we do on the side – it’s core to our business and our true passion. We’ve brought together an amazing team of ecologists, dedicated to leading the way in the assessment of terrestrial and aquatic flora and fauna, navigating development pathways and influencing the development of offset policy. What’s really special about our team is how we work as one team, not as regional centres; collaboration, mentorship, and sharing knowledge and expertise is part of our everyday.
As the Team Manager, here’s what you’ll focus on to have impact:
- Strategy & Commercial Leadership – you’ll lead the development and execution of the team’s 12‑month plan, aligning with our 5-year strategy. You’ll shape compelling ecology solutions and value propositions to build high‑quality pipeline across key regions and sectors.
- Markets, Clients & Partnerships – you’ll grow long term relationships with clients, regulators and internal teams and act as a trusted to guide biodiversity legislation and approval.
- Technical & Delivery Excellence – you’ll maintain technical excellence across ecology, biodiversity assessment, and environmental approval and provide high-level strategic oversight across all types of biodiversity assessments.
- People Leadership, Growth & Culture – you’ll have the opportunity and time to foster a culture of growth and mentorship; developing Team Leaders and emerging leaders and creating opportunities across the team to develop technical excellence.
Here’s what you can expect and count on in your new role:
- You’ll have access to the senior leadership team and a flat leadership structure empowers agile decision making.
- You’ll be surrounded by an outstanding team of multi-disciplinary environmental professionals to provide support, collaboration and outside of box thinking.
- You can look forward to the autonomy, flexibility and support you need to balance all aspects of your life and enjoy hybrid working at its best.
Here’s what you’ll bring:
Our culture, purpose and values are something we cherish and value here, so this is likely to be at the top of your list when choosing your next adventure. Here’s what else you’re likely to bring to have a positive impact in your role here.
- You’ll have significant experience in leading state significant multi-disciplinary energy, mining and infrastructure projects in NSW.
- A deep understanding of environmental and planning legislation at NSW State and Federal level and demonstrated success of advising on biodiversity related planning strategies for major projects.
- You’ve developed strong relationships and networks across the industry and with regulators and built an outstanding reputation for delivering high quality outcomes with integrity, innovation and dedication.
- BAM accreditation and experience in BDAR/BCAR and biodiversity pathways in NSW is advantageous.
- Proven people leadership, particularly leading leaders with a focus on mentoring for professional growth.
Our goal is to build a team of EMMers that looks like the world around us — and we want EMMers to stay and grow. As part of our efforts to build an EMM for everyone, we embed diversity, equity, and inclusion into our work and we aim to cultivate a sense of belonging throughout the company.
