Ground every answer in facts on this page and the original listing. We never invent Glassdoor-style reviews or salaries that are not in our data.
Strong fit if you already lead impact assessment and permitting for infrastructure-scale work, can operate client-side with regulators, and want Associate Director accountability inside a large global firm such as AECOM—less ideal if you prefer pure technical specialist work without people/commercial load.
As Associate Director – Impact Assessment & Permitting at AECOM in Perth, expect to lead multi-disciplinary environmental impact work for infrastructure and development clients: scoping assessments, coordinating specialists, navigating state/federal approvals, and quality-assuring reports and permit strategies. Much of the day is stakeholder and regulator liaison, risk calls on consent pathways, and mentoring assessment teams rather than pure field sampling.
Prioritise EIA/EIS methods, WA and Commonwealth approvals pathways, stakeholder and First Nations engagement literacy, multi-disciplinary project leadership, and clear regulator-facing writing. No certification costs or named cert packages were provided in the data.
No—the listing is Perth CBD-based (remote flag is off).
