The Company
Tellus Holdings Ltd ('Tellus') is an innovative environmental services business focused on safely cleaning up Australia of its hazardous waste. We do this at our world-class geological repository that permanently manages the disposal of hazardous materials. With a culture that values being the safest place for its people and hazardous materials, trust and passion, Tellus currently operates Australia's first commercial geological repository in regional WA and has several other geological repository and circular economy projects in the pipeline.
The Opportunity
Reporting to our Technical Supervisors, the role will be based at our operational facility - Sandy Ridge (nr. Coolgardie)
The Sandy Ridge Facility is a remote residential site, with FIFO from Jandakot, Perth or DIDO from regional towns. Our operations are day shift only, working currently on a flexible roster pattern, with 2:2 or 2:1 optional. The project has a design life of at least 25 years and operates with a team of approximately 25 Tellus staff and contractors (per swing).
The position offered presents a unique opportunity to apply your chemistry or radiological waste experience in a practical environment, where you would be directly involved in the operation's verification and immobilisation activities to safely handle and store hazardous materials.
Previous experience with hazardous waste or radiological materials is preferred but not essential for this role.
Working closely with the on-site and off-site teams across a number of disciplines, you will spend your day between on-site activities "out in the field", data analysis and input and have access to a fully equipped onsite laboratory for waste sample analysis and experimentation.
Role Requirements
Ideally you will hold a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry, Physics, Environmental sciences or similar, however you will need to demonstrate strong chemistry knowledge.
Advanced degree level chemistry knowledge is required to demonstrate strong chemistry knowledge for this position.
Hold a current WA C Class Driver's License (automatic only OK), as on-site driving is a necessary part of the role.
Good computer skills, including using spreadsheets and writing reports, will help you in this role, as you will be required to conduct various analysis and sampling exercises and prepare their required reports.
The final essential requirement is a hunger for continual learning and the need and skill to problem solve and work in a team that is innovative in how they assess, immobilise and store hazardous materials.
