- Prepare technical advice, procedures, and risk management measures to address emerging issues.
- Facilitate engagement with regulators, local councils, and community stakeholders, including coordinating quarterly regulator roundtables, managing works under Notices, and supporting Department investigations.
- Assist in the implementation of the Melbourne Airport Environment Strategy by working with stakeholders to achieve strategic objectives and commitments.
- Contribute to the maintenance and accreditation of APAC's Environmental Management System to the ISO14001 standard.
- Provide environmental advice to Melbourne Airport, contractors, and business partners on construction and operational activities.
- Review environmental management plans, conduct site inspections, negotiate practical compliance solutions, and promote a positive environmental culture.
- Assist in the preparation and delivery of regulatory and business reports.
- Develop papers and presentations to leadership teams (e.g. remediation projects) to support informed decision-making.
Requirements:
- Degree in Environmental Engineering / Science (or similar).
- 10+ years experience in contaminated land investigations and fieldwork, including the management of contaminated land projects involving complex regulatory regimes, multiple stakeholders, and reputation management.
- Experience in the management of PFAS and a strong understanding of its current regulatory and site management requirements.
- Strong experience in providing environmental advice about contaminated land, groundwater, and surface water assessment and management.
