• Review site-specific plans for rehabilitation, decommissioning, and decontamination.

• Consolidate complex inputs technical, environmental, and stakeholder-driven into long-term strategies that span decades.

• Engage with internal teams and regulators to ensure compliance and deliver clear, effective communication.

• Contribute to financial provisioning and support closure studies across Western Australian operations.

• Define handback criteria and lead structured discussions with stakeholders to support successful land rehabilitation.

What's on offer

• A competitive executive salary that reflects the strategic impact of your role.

• Executive coaching, leadership training, and access to industry events to support your growth.

• Opportunities to invest in Alcoa's future through employee share plans.

• Visibility across senior leadership and potential progression into corporate or operational executive roles.

What you can bring to the role

• A Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, Environmental Science, Geology, or a related field.

• Extensive experience in mine closure, environmental management, or a similar discipline.

• Strong knowledge of regulatory frameworks (DMPE, EPA) and closure best practices.

• The ability to simplify complexity and communicate clearly with diverse stakeholders.

• Experience developing long-term plans with incomplete or evolving data.

• Proficiency in project management and environmental monitoring tools.
