Permanent Recruitment · Australia & New Zealand

Permanent environmental & sustainability talent, sourced through community

Environmental hiring runs on trust and peer networks. Calima is embedded in an active, multidisciplinary community of environmental professionals across Australia — consultants, ESG specialists, water and waste engineers, policy people — so when you brief a role, we don't start with a job board. We ask people who know people.

Disciplines we place

  • Environmental consulting & impact assessment
  • Sustainability & ESG specialists
  • Waste management, recycling & circular economy
  • Water & wastewater treatment
  • Energy, renewables & natural resources
  • Environmental policy, regulation & compliance

Permanent placement only. (Temp-to-perm pathways sit within our labour hire service.)

  2. We reach into an active community of environmental professionals nationwide
  3. You meet a shortlist matched on capability and fit
