Can you connect the dots between risks, resources, milestones and delivery performance?

Ready to take your career to the next level in a role with real visibility and influence?

If so, this could be the opportunity you're looking for.

Join us and help deliver one of the Mining Remediation Authority's most significant transformation programmes.

You will play a central role in programme governance, coordinating Programme Board and Design Authority activities, supporting change control, tracking programme finances and resources, and ensuring risks, issues and dependencies are understood and actively managed. You'll also contribute to business cases, benefits tracking, communications and programme assurance activities, helping to keep one of our most important strategic programmes on track.

This role offers a unique opportunity to gain exposure to senior stakeholders, influence programme decision-making and make a tangible contribution to a transformation that will have a lasting impact across the Mining Remediation Authority.
