Help shape how a growing city manages its waste, recycling and environmental impact.

If you’re someone who enjoys digging into data, solving practical problems, and making sure things are done properly, this role gives you the chance to make a real impact on how a growing city manages waste, recycling and environmental compliance.

As a Resource Recovery Advisor, you’ll support the City’s waste, recycling and resource recovery operations — helping ensure services run smoothly, meet regulatory requirements, and contribute to better environmental outcomes for the community. You’ll work across compliance, monitoring, reporting, project delivery, education and contractor engagement, with plenty of variety and opportunities to grow your skills.

This is a role for someone who likes being trusted with responsibility, enjoys working with both data and people, and wants to be part of a team that’s improving how waste is managed across the City.

What You'll Be Doing
You’ll support the Resource Recovery and Resource Collection teams with technical, compliance and project work, including:

• Monitor landfill licence conditions, allowable materials, quantities and levy requirements.
• Prepare AERs, Annual Waste Plan, NPI and NGERS. Track waste tonnage and trends.
• Coordinate water sampling, bore maintenance, site surveys and leachate and gas management.
• Assess disposal permits, classify waste using lab data and interpret results.
• Prepare briefs, feasibility studies, business cases, reports and presentations.
• Support Adopt a Spot and assist with recycling and waste avoidance campaigns.
• Help develop and deliver community and school education materials.
• Assist with scopes, tenders, contract monitoring, requisitions and supplier liaison.
• Promote safe work, identify hazards early and support compliance reviews.

About You
You’re someone who enjoys structured work, problem solving and getting things right. You’re comfortable working with data, regulations and technical documents, but you also communicate well and can work with contractors, internal teams and the community.
You'll bring:

• A tertiary qualification in waste management, environmental science or a related field (or relevant experience)
• Experience in waste management operations (collection, disposal or minimisation)
• Knowledge of waste regulations and environmental compliance requirements
• Experience with contract administration and procurement processes
• Strong research, investigation and analytical skills
• The ability to write clear technical documents and specifications
• Experience working with contractors and monitoring performance
• Understanding of tender preparation, cost control and budgeting
• A Construction Induction Card
• A current C Class Driver’s Licence
• A National Police Certificate (or ability to obtain one)

If you’re someone who likes variety, values accuracy, and wants to help improve how waste and recycling services operate, you’ll feel at home here.
