What's it like working at Wedgetail?
Wedgetail works across a wide variety of ecology work across NSW. Our team includes experienced ecologists, specialists and BAM accredited assessors, who scope the work, sign off the reports, and train junior staff in the field rather than leaving them to work it out alone.
Work experience and student placements
We offer a structured work experience program for students, giving them real fieldwork exposure alongside our ecologists rather than a token placement. It's a great way to get hands-on ecology experience, and it's how several of our current junior staff first came through the door. To find out what’s available, get in touch using the form.
