• Maintain and continuously improve the company’s Environmental Management System (EMS).

• Provide high-level environmental advice and support to senior management and operational teams.

• Prepare reports, submissions, and updates on environmental performance for both internal and external stakeholders.

• Support incident response, corrective actions, and environmental risk management.

About You

• Tertiary qualifications in Environmental Science, Engineering, or a related field.

• Extensive experience in environmental approvals, compliance, and stakeholder engagement within the mining industry.

• Sound understanding of WA environmental and mining legislation and regulatory frameworks.

• Proven ability to manage environmental functions independently and work effectively across multidisciplinary teams.
