Who Are CPP?

As a member of Quanta Services, a Fortune 500 company ranked #192 on the NYSX, we specialise in the design, construction, commissioning, and maintenance of substations, transmission lines, wind farms, and battery storage systems.

Established in 1996, we’ve connected more wind farms and renewable batteries than any other company. With over 700 employees and offices in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth, we partner with Australia’s major transmission providers to deliver innovative, end-to-end solutions.

Join us in shaping the future of energy.

Health, Safety & Environment

At CPP, we do safety differently. Aligned with Quanta’s Capacity Model™, we recognise that even with the best prevention, failure can still occur. Our focus is on building the capacity to fail safely and protect our people from life-threatening, life-altering, or life-ending incidents.

We embed safety, quality, and environmental responsibility into everything we do. Our tailored environmental management plans help minimise risks and disturbances while ensuring compliance with client requirements.

Through innovation and continuous learning, we create a resilient workplace where projects are delivered safely, on time, and within budget – because safety isn’t just a priority, it’s how we work.

The Opportunity

CPP is seeking an Environmental & Sustainability Manager in a newly created role that will set the strategic direction for environmental sustainability and performance nationally.

Reporting to the Executive General Manager – Health, Safety and Environment, this is a greenfield opportunity to establish the environmental sustainability function from the ground up whilst leading a team of Environmental Advisors.

Working with various stakeholders across all levels of the business, you will lead the Environmental Advisory team and engage closely with site teams, senior leaders and clients.
