About the role
We are seeking a highly motivated person with 5-6 years of experience in large scale project approvals (renewable energy, mining, oil and gas, infrastructure), environmental compliance, and auditing.

Experience in field monitoring and survey, biodiversity offsets, mine site rehabilitation and sustainability reporting will be highly regarded.

This is an opportunity to join an emerging company and grow with it. You will be encouraged to pursue your own interests, build relationships with your own clients, and generally step up and make things happen.
