What they need


Botanists, Zoologists & Ecologists - 10+ roles available
 
If you're a Botanist, Zoologist or Ecologist thinking about your next move, now is a great time to have a look before the year gets busy with the spring season.
 
We're working with a number of WA consultancies, and we have positions across all levels right now

Gather specialise in environmental recruitment, so you're dealing with people who understand the work and the market, not a generalist agency.
 
Some of the roles we're working on right now
 
Botany:

  • Ref 452 - Senior / Principal Botanist
  • Ref 432 - Senior Botanist
  • Ref 353 - Botanist / Senior Botanist
  • Ref 291 - Senior Botanist

Zoology & Fauna:

Ecology & Leadership:

  • Ref 454 - Principal / Leader, Ecology
  • Ref 451 - Ecologist / Botanist
  • Ref 433 - Ecologist

New roles come in regularly, so even if nothing above fits exactly, it's worth registering to be kept in the loop.
 
What you'll need

  • A bachelor's degree in Botany, Ecology, Zoology or Environmental Science
  • Experience working in Western Australian bioregions
  • Consulting experience (ideally, but not a deal-breaker for the right person)
  • Australian citizenship or permanent residency

What's on offer
 
Different clients, different packages, but the things people tend to care about most include:

  • Genuine flexible hours and remote working (up to 5 days a week with some clients)
  • Paid study assistance with a personal development budget
  • Paid memberships - ECA, EIANZ, Engineers Australia and the like
  • Annual bonus schemes and sign-on bonuses
  • Option to purchase extra annual leave, plus extra paid caregiver leave
  • Structured professional development and the chance to work alongside genuine industry leaders

And the smaller stuff too - dog-friendly offices, paid birthday leave, sit-stand desks, free parking, sundowners and the occasional team breakfast.
 
No pressure, no obligation
