Own your work. Leave a legacy. Arafura is developing the Nolans rare earths project in the Northern Territory, a greenfield operation producing the rare earths that will enable the global energy transition and future technologies.

Nolans has been identified as nationally significant and we aim to create a positive legacy for generations to come. We are currently a team of around 40 people, which means the people joining us now will shape not just how this project is delivered, but how Australia's rare earths sector impacts the global industry. We are building a cooperative and forward-thinking culture through our values of Care, Collaboration, Courage, Curiosity and Commitment.

We are moving into delivery and construction, and we are looking for an Accounts Payable Officer to keep our suppliers and contractors paid accurately and on time. The volume and complexity coming through this role grows quickly from here, and how well it runs is felt by everyone building the project. The role is offered at approximately three days per week, with genuine flexibility in how those days are shaped around what matters to you.
