The Principal, Healthy Environment Goal Integrity role provides technical leadership informed by on-the-ground expertise to support the design, delivery, and continuous improvement of BHP's Healthy Environment Goal program and associated land-based sustainability initiatives.
Working across the business, you will integrate your experience of ecological science, conservation, Traditional Owner partnerships, and regenerative land management into project guidance and assurance, helping ensure BHP's nature-related commitments translate into credible, measurable performance in the landscapes where we operate.
Reporting to the Manager, Sustainability Partnerships, and partnering closely with Environment, External Affairs, Legal and ESG governance teams, you will apply knowledge of ecological systems, biodiversity dependencies, and natural-capital considerations to optimise program performance and support sound, evidence-based action.
You will leverage insights from the development and evaluation of nature and/or carbon projects to embed BHP's Nature Project Integrity Principles in project design and delivery, strengthen monitoring and performance analytics, and support effective management of nature-related risks, impacts, and opportunities.
About You
* Strong environmental project development capability, including experience establishing and/or developing nature or carbon projects.
