The Principal Ecologist will lead ecological field survey programs, manage complex multidisciplinary projects, and provide high-quality technical advice to clients. The role also involves mentoring team members, driving business development, and ensuring compliance with NSW regulatory frameworks.
Candidates must hold a tertiary qualification in Science or a related field and possess over 10 years of experience in ecological consulting or industry. Proven expertise in project management, winning work, and leading ecological assessments is essential.
At SLR we are Making Sustainability Happen. SLR is an international environmental consultancy with a globally recognised reputation for providing high quality tailored services. With 1,000+ staff in APAC alone, we provide consultancy advice and support on a wide range of strategic and site-specific issues to a diverse and growing base of business, regulatory and governmental clients.
We have an opportunity for a Principal Ecologist to join our Ecology team. This is a full time permanent role that has the preference to be based in our Newcastle office. For the right candidate the location may be flexible to be based in Sydney.
This Principal role places strong emphasis on technical and team leadership to ensure the consistent delivery of the high‑quality outcomes our clients expect. The role also encompasses mentoring and promoting professional development across our teams, managing key client relationships, and contributing to business development to support the continued growth of the team. This role is ideal for an experienced consultant who is keen and comfortable operating as a Team Lead.
We are proud of our unique culture where we work together to collaborate on projects to get the best possible outcomes. We recognise that every person is different, and our benefits aim to ensure that we cater for all.

We make hiring decisions based on your experience, skills and passion. When you apply, please tell us the pronouns you use and any reasonable adjustments you may need during the interview process.

Making Sustainability Happen
SLR is a committed partner in our clients’ sustainability journeys. We help them move from influence to impact, turning intent into purposeful, practical action that delivers real-world results. Guided by our philosophy of Rational Sustainability, we focus on what truly drives long-term value. By viewing decisions through the lenses of risk, reward, and resilience, we help clients act with confidence, balancing environmental and social responsibility with commercial and strategic success. Our purpose - Making Sustainability Happen - means delivering outcomes that are grounded in evidence, shaped by experience, and built to last. SLR has been advising clients for over 30 years at every point of their project life-cycle. Starting as a UK business, we now operate as a global company with more than 4,500 people delivering client solutions across six regions. We have grown both organically and through welcoming other like-minded businesses with a similar One Team culture into the SLR group. We are ably supported by our principal investor, Ares Management, and will continue to build a balanced, successful and growing business. We’ve designed working life at SLR to look a little different. Because we know talented people often feel restricted by the rigid systems, lack of cross-functional collaboration and limited options for growth on offer elsewhere. Our One Team culture promotes meaningful professional and personal growth, our flat management structure provides many opportunities to progress, and our collaborative approach means you’ll get the chance to work on projects you care about and make a real difference. If you’re purpose-driven, self-motivated and keen to make an impact on a global scale, we want to hear from you.
