  • SLR is in a period of ambitious growth and to meet client needs we wish to strengthen our offering in the resource management and sustainability sector. We are looking for an ambitious individual, with a proven track record in winning new work, leading projects, and who can assist with pushing forward the development of this core business area.
  • The Sustainable Waste Management team has extensive experience of providing practical advice on all waste types, including municipal, household, commercial, industrial, hazardous, agricultural, and mining waste. Our specialisms are expanding to meet the challenges associated with sustainability, circular economy and climate impacts, allowing us to provide comprehensive resource management services to clients.
  • Our client & technical service offerings include:
