Do you want to make a difference?

Alluvium started with three people in 2006 who wanted to make a positive impact on our environment and the communities that rely on healthy ecosystems. Since then we have delivered thousands of projects, each of which have left the world in a slightly better place.

We haven’t achieved this alone. Since our inception we have gathered a team of over 160 like-minded experts who are all driven by the same passion to care for the natural world, and guide the developed world in a way that the two can coexist.

Through this journey we have consciously pursued a path that would be flexible on delivering work through different streams through the development of separate companies, each specialising in their own field of environmental science under the Alluvium Group, and sharing the same mission statement.

We are making a difference. Are you ready to join us?

Why us? 

We recruit the most talented engineers, scientists, and economists to help us shape the future of our natural and urban environment. Our goal is to lift the bar within our industry and provide inspirational leadership on environmental issues and solutions.

We have achieved this through a purposeful diversification of services through our family of companies consisting of Alluvium, providing guidance and advice n environmental water from catchment to coast, expert economic and policy advice with Natural Capital Economics, guidance to better our communities through social sciences with Mosaic Insights, and critical ecological assessments and studies with EcoFutures.

Each of our businesses has its own governance and management arrangements while operating within the Alluvium Group ecosystem, allowing us to deliver work in a range of disciplines and to cross-pollinate ideas between our different teams.

Our values as a business align with our team members. We are a certified BCorp, operate as a carbon-neutral business and are actively committed to reconciliation through our Reconciliation Action Plan and other initiatives. We are an employee-owned business and offer profit sharing and stock purchases to employees.

We offer our teams flexible working conditions, opportunities for self-development and community work, and the chance to learn alongside experts in a variety of natural science fields. We value and trust our team members, and operate in a flat organisational structure to allow the free flow of ideas from youngest graduate to the more experienced manager. Everyone has something to contribute, and we foster creativity and thinking beyond conevtnetioal solutions.

Our actions are reflected in our results. Alluvium has a high staff retention rate and has been a regular feature on Great Place to Work, most recently in 2022 and 2023.

What Graduates Say About Them
  • The work we do is diverse, interesting, fulfilling, challenging, and values-aligned.
  • Great team and healthy work culture.
  • People are friendly, and most people are happy to talk and provide technical or situational guidance.
  • Relocation allowance. We have a three-year rotating program including a company conference, overseas study tour, and leadership development course.

Graduate Success Stories


  • Graduate stories
Don’t put too much pressure on yourself to know what you want to do once you finish university. Take time to travel – reflect, reset, and experience new things. I believe if you are passionate about sustainability and the environment the best thing to do is to enroll in an environment-related university degree.

I always get excited at the opportunity to learn something new and have been working on developing my skills over a variety of programs. I also love that this job provides the opportunity to do fieldwork. I have been on several site visits, walking along rivers, sampling water at wetlands, and canoeing or boating down rivers looking at bank erosion and structural damage. The field assessments are always so exciting, and it is great to get out of the office every once in a while. I also love the community culture at Alluvium. Everyone here knows each other and gets along well. We often engage in out-of-work activities such as trivia nights, swimming, or tennis. I always feel welcomed and supported here.

As a team, we like to take 5 minutes to stand up and move around. This can include anything from a light stretch to a push-up challenge … whatever you feel like doing, fitting in 5 minutes is a great way to take a break from the screen and get the blood flowing.

The people in the office love coffee and often go to a nearby cafe together. I often get a vegemite pastry when we go. Group meeting to discuss any key updates or things to be aware of. It is also a time to learn something interesting, with another team member presenting something they’ve been working on. The responsibility of running the meeting cycles around weekly is a good way for me to practice my communication skills.
