At Turner & Townsend, we're expanding our team of industry experts and are currently seeking expressions of interest from experienced Study Managers to join our Perth office. This is your opportunity to play a critical role in shaping the future of sustainable energy and resource development across the region. 

This isn't just another role - it's a chance to influence strategic direction, drive innovation, and deliver high-value outcomes in a sector that's powering the world.

Essential: 

• At least 10 years of experience in delivering multidisciplinary projects from feasibility through to delivery. 
• A tertiary qualification in Engineering, or a related field.
