About the Role

This is a site-based technical role supporting the environmental compliance and performance of the operation, working within a strong environmental team. You will help ensure the site operates within its Environmental Authority (EA) conditions, support the implementation of environmental management plans so they are embedded in day-to-day site practice rather than treated as static documents, and carry out water monitoring, sampling and reporting with a focus on data integrity and timely regulatory submissions.

You bring hands-on site-based experience in environmental management within coal mining or a comparable heavy industry, with a working understanding of EA compliance, management plans, and water monitoring and reporting. You're practical, eager to learn, and comfortable working collaboratively with operational teams to get compliance embedded in practice, not just on paper. You're motivated by the chance to be part of a business in genuine growth mode, backed by a strong, established senior leadership team. They are a great bunch to work with and its an exciting time to get involved.

Key Requirements

• Site-based experience in an environmental role within coal mining or similar resources operations
• Working knowledge of EA conditions and regulatory compliance obligations
• Experience supporting the implementation and maintenance of environmental management plans
• Hands-on experience in water sampling, monitoring and reporting
• Ability to liaise confidently with operations teams, site leadership, and external stakeholders
• Strong attention to detail and sound judgement under regulatory scrutiny

Genuine career upside working on a unique and growing operation. All discussions are held in strict confidence.
