You will help to represent Edge Environment at conferences, seminars, workshops and events nationally and internationally as appropriate.
You will have a post-graduate degree or professional qualifications in a scientific discipline, preferably chemical engineering, chemistry, physics, with some years experience in science based research and consultancy.
If you are a flexible and creative thinker, able to nut out difficult technical detail one minute but see the strategic policy and business implications of your work in the next; if you have excellent report writing and presentation skills, a passion for science and sustainability; if you are results oriented and customer focused, then this role provides the perfect career opportunity for you.
Based in Manly at Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Edge Environment offers a unique and inspiring lifestyle work environment. You will be working with and trained by Edge Environment’s LCA expert team complemented with external training courses. The salary range for the position is $70k to $80k (incl super), ultimately dependent on qualifications and experience.
