About You To be successful in this role, you will possess:
  • Demonstrated experience leading environmental approvals and compliance activities on large-scale resource, infrastructure or industrial projects.
  • Strong understanding of Australian environmental legislation, approvals pathways and compliance frameworks.
  • Experience managing environmental consultants and multidisciplinary teams.
  • Knowledge of heritage management, environmental impact assessments and risk management processes.
  • Exposure to water licensing, hydrogeological investigations and associated regulatory requirements.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
  • Experience using GIS and environmental data to support project decision-making.
Qualifications & Experience
  • Tertiary qualification in Environmental Science, Environmental Engineering or a related discipline.
  • Extensive experience in environmental approvals, compliance and project delivery environments.
  • Proven ability to influence project outcomes and work effectively across technical and operational teams.
  • Full Australian working rights are mandatory.
What's on Offer?
  • Long-term project involvement from approvals through to delivery.
  • Opportunity to influence a major resource development from an early stage.
  • Perth-based start with future FIFO exposure.
  • High-profile role within a collaborative and supportive project team.
  • Competitive remuneration package.
If you are an experienced environmental professional looking to take ownership of approvals and environmental delivery on a major project, we'd love to hear from you.

ALL APPLICANTS MUST HAVE PERMANENT RESIDENCY OR CITIZENSHIP WITHIN AUSTRALIA.
