* Support environmental systems implementation and digital transformation (e.g. EnviroSYS),
* Engage regularly with site teams, contractors, neighbours, and regulators to ensure best practice,
* Provide guidance and mentorship to junior environmental team members.
What You Bring
* Experience in environmental roles within mining, construction, or infrastructure environments,
* Strong understanding of land management, ecology, or environmental planning (preferred),
* Clear and confident communication skills with a solutions-focused mindset,
* Ability to operate autonomously and work well as part of a close-knit team,
* Comfortable leading conversations with stakeholders and regulatory bodies.
Work Conditions and Flexibility
* Approximately 38 hours per week,
* Site based role with flexibility for early or late starts,
