Senior and Principal Environmental Consultants

• Have you assumed all consulting firms are the same?
• Are you feeling the pressure of high utilisation targets and long hours, with little time for team development or your own growth?
• Did you know there are consultancies in Perth with zero staff turnover, flexible hours from day one, and even dog-friendly offices?

At Gather, we specialise in connecting environmental professionals with great careers in some of Australia’s best companies many of whom we’ve worked with for nearly two decades. These are businesses where staff feel supported, respected, and genuinely enjoy coming to work.

The market remains strong, and we’re currently recruiting for several Senior and Principal-level roles across Perth. These positions are with consultancies that offer real flexibility, sensible workloads, and autonomy without the red tape.
