What is the Project?
Senversa is an established name in the environmental consulting industry, proudly Australian owned and operated for over 10 years. In 2009, a dedicated group of professionals came together with a clear vision – to establish a firm that not only thrives on expert environmental, sustainability, and engineering consultation but also creates a workplace that values inclusion and employee ownership. Starting from a small Melbourne office with just three experts, the project has now grown to support multiple offices across Australia with a team of over 100 highly talented individuals. The very journey of this initiative shines a light on commitments to quality, sustainability, and comprehensive environmental services, ranging from contaminated land assessment and remediation to statutory environmental audits. It is a story of growth, innovation, and a steadfast mission to make a positive impact in every project handled.
