• Facilitate statutory notification, reporting, and environmental investigations. 
• Provide professional and technical advice in relation to effective environmental management for the project. 
• Manage EMS and project regulatory compliance tracking and awareness.
• Assist the Liddell Transition team with environmental management practice and raise awareness and understanding of environmental issues. 
• Coach, coordinate, and mentor Liddell Transition Team members in environment and compliance matters. 
• Assist in developing effective working relationships with key regulatory authorities such as EPA, DPIE, NSW Treasury, or others as required. 

What you'll bring:

•  Bachelor's degree in environmental science, environmental engineering, or another scientific/technical field required.
