- Support negotiations with vendors/bidders/stakeholders and other deal stakeholders
- Support the broader Pacific Repowering Program in development of strategy papers, internal memos and management presentations
- Ensure full health, safety and environmental compliance with Rio Tinto and statutory requirements

This position can offer a number of flexible work arrangement options including flexible hours, hybrid workplace model, or job share arrangements.

**What you’ll bring**
- Self motivated individual able to exercise tenacity in a fast paced and multi-stakeholder environment
- Ability to swiftly establish and nurture trust within a team
- Leadership competencies including: fostering teamwork and collaboration, striving for operational excellence, championing change and driving innovation and leading & developing people
- A strong communicator both verbally and in writing with demonstrated success in preparing sharp and succinct presentations and internal documentation
- Project management qualification and/or relevant experience
