- Expand and maintain biological and ethnobotanical knowledge to support long-term sustainable resource access
- Support improved environmental and cultural performance across Operational and Closure phases
- Integrate cultural knowledge with biological understanding to develop a holistic picture of the environment in which we operate
- Foster an integrated way of working across a range of disciplines to support the intent of the PECK program and deliver aligned workstreams supporting resource access
- Build external partnerships to help further the state of knowledge for the biological and cultural values that we interact with in the Pilbara
- Work with a large multi-disciplinary team who are collaborative and supportive and emulate the Rio Tinto values

**What you’ll bring**

To be successfully considered for this role, you will have:

- A commitment to the safety and wellbeing of yourself and your team
- Demonstrated leadership capability across multi-disciplinary teams, with a focus on caring and collaborative behaviours
- Demonstrated ability to keep a team engaged in an evolving, ever changing environment

- A demonstrated collaborator with excellent interpersonal, written and oral communication skills
- Experience in developing strong external partnerships, including with regulators, Traditional Owners and research organisations
- Experience in, and understanding of State and Federal biological, environmental and heritage regulation, including ongoing reforms and the emerging policy interactions and implications
- A degree in a relevant discipline or equivalent experience

It will also be beneficial if you have:

- Experience in implementing change management
- Experience or understanding of appropriately managing biodiversity, and operational performance

**What we offer**

Be recognised for your contribution, your thinking and your hard work, and go home knowing you’ve helped the world progress.
- A work environment where safety is always the number one priority
- A permanent position working directly for Rio Tinto
- A competitive base salary reflective of your skills and experience with annual incentive program
- Comprehensive medical benefits including subsidised private health insurance for employees and immediate family
