- Project managing closure and rehabilitation studies, including field trials, sampling and analysis of mineral waste and soils, and scientific research projects.
- Contributing to stakeholder engagement with Traditional Owners, regulators, local communities, and landholders.
- Preparing high-quality technical documentation for internal and external stakeholders, including reports, presentations, cost estimates, and procedural guidance.
About You
