The Role

This role provides leadership and technical oversight of closure-related risks, cost forecasting, and governance processes, ensuring adherence to corporate guidelines while aligning with long-term asset and financial strategies.

Strong stakeholder management skills are essential, as you will coordinate site and regional submissions, facilitate governance committees, and act as the primary liaison between operational, regional and corporate teams. The role also requires capability in driving comprehensive closure risk assessments, identifying value-creation opportunities such as land repurposing or community reinvestment and building organisational knowledge through training and knowledge-sharing initiatives.

The successful candidate will have:

A tertiary qualification in Mining Engineering, Environmental Science, Geology, or a related field;

Extensive experience in the mining industry, with a minimum of 5 years in closure planning or environmental management;

Proven track record in developing closure governance frameworks and influencing cross-functional stakeholders on technically complex, financially significant decisions;
