ENVIRONMENTAL JOBS IN SYDNEY - NSW
Here's a list of environmental jobs in Sydney. Each position advertised that is shown on on this page (and following pages) will be located in the metropolitan area of Sydney. If you are interested in finding out about sustainability opportunities in NSW that are outside of the Sydney metro area, then, when you pick a location, if you click (ctrl click to keep Sydney in your search) 'Regional NSW' this will broaden your job search to green career opportunities throughout the whole of NSW as well.
If you are interested in applying for a position then all the 'apply instructions' for the different environmental and sustainability jobs listed are in the body of the advertised position itself.
You can change the locations that display for these environmental and sustainability position adverts by scrolling up and selecting a different location in the 'Refine Search' box on the top left-hand side of this page.
What's also really useful is you can select multiple locations and environmental jobs types by using this 'Refine Search' box. For example, if you are interested in environmental jobs in both Sydney and Melbourne, it's possible to see these locations at the same time rather than in separate job searches.
Frequently Asked Questions
What environmental jobs are available in Sydney and NSW?
NSW has the largest environmental sector in Australia, so the range is wide. You'll commonly find ecology and biodiversity roles, contaminated land assessment and remediation, environmental planning and approvals, water and catchment management, sustainability and ESG, plus council-based bushland and environment officer jobs. Listings run from graduate positions through to principal level.
Which employers hire environmental professionals in Sydney?
A real mix. Private consultancies such as WSP, ERM, GHD, Arcadis and Douglas Partners advertise regularly, alongside Sydney councils (Inner West, Ryde and many others) and NSW Government bodies including the EPA, National Parks and Wildlife Service NSW, and the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.
Are there graduate or entry-level environmental jobs in Sydney?
Yes. Sydney's size makes it one of the better places in Australia to land your first environmental role, particularly with consultancies and councils that take on graduate ecologists, scientists and environment officers — and several large consultancies run formal graduate intakes. Short on experience? Volunteering is a great way to build your CV first.
