Roster: 2 weeks on, 1 week off

The Details

Reporting to the Manager – Environment & Secondary Approvals, you will support the Project Team in delivering the construction of the West Musgrave Project and contributing to environmental improvement opportunities throughout the construction phase of the Project.

You will actively contribute to oversight of compliance with the internal Land Access and Disturbance Permit system.

Leaving hierarchy at the door, you will build relationships with internal and external stakeholders and relentlessly focus on collaboration.

Identifying threats and opportunities is second nature. You thrive on innovation and seek new ideas from your team and partners to manage risks, improve environmental management on-site and create value.

You set direction and lead your team to achieve the deliverables at hand, coaching and mentoring along the way.

• Oversee the implementation of the Environmental and Cultural Heritage Management Systems and monitor compliance against approvals conditions and commitments.
• Support the implementation and management of the land disturbance permitting process, particularly in relation to commitments made to the Ngaanyatjarra community.
• Lead a high-performing cross-functional team to enable leading practice in environmental compliance and foster the intent of the ‘We Grow Sustainability’ plan.
• Governance and reporting against the environmental and cultural heritage management systems
• Prepare or contribute to reporting as required to meet approvals conditions, compliance reporting and broader sustainability reporting.
• Work with internal and external stakeholders to pre-empt and manage threats and identify opportunities to minimise impacts on environmental and cultural values.
• Work closely with the Operational Community and Environment Teams to manage relationships with key Stakeholders
• Work closely with the Community team for Ngaanyatjarra community engagement and interaction activities.
• Steer the construction project through its approvals obligations and set the site culture up to succeed by embracing our commitment to sustainability and ‘We Care’.
