  • Support project teams through feasibility, development and operational phases.
  • Manage approvals schedules, risks and budgets to ensure key project milestones are achieved.
  • Provide environmental and approvals advice to senior leadership and project teams.
About You
  • 10+ years' experience in environmental approvals, permitting or environmental planning.
  • Strong understanding of WA environmental approvals processes.
  • Experience working within mining, resources, infrastructure or environmental consulting.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage complex approvals programs and multiple stakeholders.
