UGL is seeking an Environmental Advisor to support a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) infrastructure project in Australia. The role typically requires qualifications in environmental science, environmental management, engineering, or a related discipline, together with experience in construction, energy, utilities, or major infrastructure projects. Responsibilities may include implementing environmental management plans, monitoring compliance with approvals and legislation, conducting inspections and audits, managing environmental risks, preparing reports, supporting incident investigations, and advising project teams. The successful candidate is expected to communicate effectively with contractors, regulators, clients, and site personnel; demonstrate practical knowledge of Australian environmental requirements; maintain accurate records; and promote sustainable, compliant construction practices. Experience with BESS, renewable energy, contaminated land, biodiversity, or waste management would be advantageous.
UGL is an Australian engineering, construction, maintenance, and asset-services company and part of the CIMIC Group. It delivers complex projects and long-term operational services across transport, energy, resources, water, defence, communications, and social infrastructure. UGL supports clients through the full project lifecycle, including design, procurement, construction, commissioning, operations, and maintenance. The company is involved in Australia’s energy transition, including renewable generation, transmission, substations, and battery energy storage projects. Its workforce includes engineers, tradespeople, project managers, environmental specialists, and corporate professionals working across metropolitan and regional locations. UGL promotes safety, technical excellence, sustainability, collaboration, and inclusive employment practices. Employment conditions vary by project and may include site-based work, regional travel, roster arrangements, and project-specific allowances.
Australia offers strong opportunities in infrastructure, renewable energy, construction, engineering, environmental management, healthcare, technology, and skilled trades. Major projects such as BESS developments are creating demand for environmental and sustainability professionals, particularly in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, and Western Australia. Australian workplaces generally value safety, punctuality, practical communication, teamwork, and a relatively informal culture. Lifestyle options range from large multicultural cities to regional and remote communities, with high-quality beaches, outdoor activities, and generally high living costs. Visa options may include employer-sponsored skilled visas, the Skilled Independent or State Nominated pathways, and working holiday visas for eligible applicants. Candidates should check current requirements with the Department of Home Affairs and ensure qualifications are recognised. Relocation planning should cover accommodation, healthcare, tax, transport, work rights, and possible regional or fly-in-fly-out arrangements.
