Environmental Officer - Greenfield Mining Project
Stellar Recruitment ·www.stellarrecruitment.com
Apply directAbout the opportunity
Stellar Recruitment is partnering with an Australian mining company to recruit an Environmental Officer for a greenfield critical minerals project near Mudgee.
This is an opportunity to join during the development phase and help establish the environmental systems, plans and processes that will support the project as it progresses. You’ll work within an experienced environmental team, with exposure to senior management and scope to develop your expertise across a broad range of environmental disciplines.
The project is progressing through the approvals process, with groundworks targeted for 2028, subject to approvals. The proposed mining operation involves a single open pit and day-shift mining, with substantial company-owned landholdings in the surrounding area.
About the role
Reporting to the Environmental Superintendent, you’ll combine environmental management system development with monitoring, reporting and biodiversity-related activities. Rather than simply maintaining established systems, you’ll have the opportunity to help build them.
A key focus will be developing practical management plans, procedures, forms, registers and processes, alongside supporting biodiversity management across the company’s properties.
Your responsibilities will include:
You’ll be an environmental professional who enjoys variety, works well independently and is comfortable building relationships across different teams. Experience in mining is welcome, but backgrounds in resources, construction, infrastructure or a regulatory environment will also be considered.
Ideally, you’ll bring a relevant qualification in Environmental Science, Environmental Management or a related discipline, together with experience developing environmental management systems and interpreting environmental requirements. Strong written communication, organisation and stakeholder engagement skills will be important.
Experience managing biodiversity properties, coordinating biodiversity assessments or monitoring programs, and working with the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 will be particularly well regarded.
What’s on offer
An attractive remuneration package aligned with your experience, a supportive environmental team and the opportunity to broaden your expertise as the project develops.
You’ll work a 9-day fortnight, with accommodation available for the first six months to help you settle into the area. Set among rolling green hills and established rural communities, this opportunity would suit someone looking to build a career and a life in the Mudgee region.
Long-term residence in the area is required, although relocation does not need to happen immediately. There is flexibility to make the move over the first six to twelve months, allowing time to plan the transition.
How to apply
To express your interest, submit your resume through SEEK. For a confidential discussion about the role and relocation arrangements, contact the team at Stellar Recruitment.
