Shape the legal direction of a newly formed department driving WA's mining and resources future.
Would you like to be a part of the new Department of Mines, Petroleum and Exploration (DMPE)?

Our people will be provided with a range of benefits, including flexible work arrangements, working at home, in the field or in the office, training and development opportunities, and ongoing support to enable you to achieve outcomes for our community.

The Role
As the Senior Lawyer, you will be part of a dynamic and collaborative legal team responsible for providing high-quality legal advice to the department and the Minister on a wide range of complex legal matters, with a focus on the resources industry and government legal practice. You will play a key role in advising on legislation, statutory powers, regulatory frameworks, and contractual agreements that are central to the work of the newly formed Department of Mines, Petroleum and Exploration.
You will also contribute to the growth and development of the DMPE legal team by coaching, mentoring and supporting less experienced lawyers, and by sharing your expertise across a wide range of legal matters. As part of the newly established Department of Mines, Petroleum and Exploration, your contribution will help shape a forward-thinking and capable legal team that embraces innovation, technology, and is committed to contemporary legal practice.
Success in this role requires a high level of attention to detail, sound legal judgment, and the ability to deliver timely, relevant, and practical advice. You will be confident communicating with a range of stakeholders, able to tailor your advice for different audiences, and work collaboratively as a strong and supportive team member.
