About the Role

n

This is a site-based technical role central to the environmental compliance and performance of the operation. You will take ownership of Environmental Authority (EA) conditions, ensuring the site operates within its approvals and that compliance obligations are understood and met across the business. You will lead the implementation of environmental management plans, embedding them into day-to-day site practice rather than treating them as static documents, and you will manage water reporting and monitoring requirements, ensuring data integrity and timely regulatory submissions. You'll work closely with operations, technical services, and the leadership team to keep environmental performance aligned with the site's growth trajectory, and you'll play a key role supporting the business through its ramp-up phase and beyond.
