What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to drive sustainability initiatives and enhance environmental compliance in a collaborative environment.

I am a dedicated and results-driven Environmental Advisor with a strong multidisciplinary background in environmental impact assessment, risk analysis, and project management for large infrastructure projects. My expertise spans both Australian and international regulatory frameworks, allowing me to develop robust methodologies for Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) and ensure compliance with environmental standards.

Throughout my career, I have specialized in PFAS, hydrocarbon, and heavy metal remediation, and have successfully designed effective Environmental Management Plans (EMP) to mitigate adverse environmental impacts. My key strengths include stakeholder engagement and delivering tailored solutions that optimize environmental outcomes while achieving project goals. I am seeking to leverage my extensive expertise and leadership skills to drive transformative initiatives in environmental consulting at a senior level.
