The posting

Ready to step up and lead the projects shaping Australia's future? As our energy, resources and infrastructure portfolio continues to surge, ERM is looking for a Managing Consultant in Environmental Planning to join our dynamic team in Adelaide. This is your chance to take the driver's seat on projects that matter, from mining and renewables, to the major infrastructure powering the energy transition, you’ll be working with clients who are redefining what's possible.

You'll work across statutory planning, environmental permitting and licensing, with plenty of opportunity to get stuck into environmental impact assessment (EIA) on large, complex and high-profile projects. ERM partners with major clients across renewables, offshore infrastructure, major utilities, transport, resources and industry, so no two projects (or weeks) look the same. You'll also tap into ERM's global Impact Assessment Technical Community, sharing best practice on industry-leading projects across Australia and internationally.

What you'll do:

  • Lead and take accountability for planning, permitting and approvals projects from start to finish, owning scope, programme, budget and project risk.
  • Lead multidisciplinary teams and provide technical direction and quality review of outputs, bringing together ERM's ecology, heritage, noise, air quality, contaminated land, hydrogeology, and climate change and sustainability specialists to deliver integrated, high-quality outcomes.
  • Act as a trusted adviser to clients, shaping approvals strategy and translating complex regulatory requirements into clear, practical advice.
  • Build and maintain senior-level relationships with regulators and agencies, and negotiate approval pathways to keep projects moving.
  • Review and sign off planning reports, permit and licence applications and EIA documentation, while still contributing technically where needed.
  • Lead proposals and scopes, set fees and grow key client accounts alongside the Partner group.
  • Supervise, mentor and develop junior staff, including allocating work and contributing to their performance and career growth.

What you'll bring:

  • Bachelor's degree in Urban Planning, Environmental Science, Environmental Management or a related discipline.
  • 7+ years' experience in statutory planning, environmental permitting and licensing, environmental approvals or impact assessment, ideally in consulting.
  • Proven project management and coordination skills, including managing programmes, budgets, deliverables and multidisciplinary inputs.
  • Confident client liaison and stakeholder engagement skills, with experience working with regulators and government agencies.
  • Experience contributing to or leading proposals and client development Sound working knowledge of South Australian and Commonwealth planning and environmental legislation (or demonstrated capacity to learn).
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to prepare and review clear, persuasive technical documents.
  • A proactive, organised and solutions-focused approach, and the ability to juggle competing priorities with energy and good humour.
  • Authorisation to work in Australia.

If you love bringing people together, keeping projects on track and seeing your work make a real-world impact, we want to hear from you.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
