The Role: Strategy First
This role is not about day-to-day compliance—it is about setting direction and building long-term environmental strategy.
Reporting to the Manager, Environment & Lands, you will define and drive integrated environmental programs across the site, anchored around five core pillars:
- Air – emissions reduction strategies and community exposure management
- Dust – fugitive dust control and reduction of ambient particulate impacts
- Water – water management, risk mitigation, and system resilience
- Remediation – large-scale legacy impact remediation (on-site and surrounding areas)
- Soil – contamination management, restoration, and long-term site stewardship
You will lead a team of 3–4 direct reports, providing strategic direction, technical oversight, and coaching. While the role is not hands-on operationally, it requires strong technical depth to effectively guide specialists, validate approaches, and ensure robust decision-making.
What You’ll Own
You will be accountable for building and advancing cohesive environmental strategies and programs, including:
- Long-term air emissions reduction and community exposure strategies
- Dust management programs focused on reducing fugitive and ambient impacts
- Water system risk reduction and long-term resource protection strategies
- Large-scale remediation programs addressing historical site impacts
- Soil management and restoration strategies across affected areas
- Biodiversity and ecosystem management frameworks across a wide regional footprint
- Aquatic monitoring and environmental performance programs
- Infrastructure environmental risk strategies (e.g., stormwater and containment systems)
- Community-facing environmental strategies including air quality and public health outcomes
A key part of the role is ensuring these pillars are not managed in isolation, but delivered as a connected, forward-looking environmental strategy aligned with regulatory expectations and business priorities.
Leadership & Influence
- Lead, develop, and mentor a team of environmental specialists (3–4 direct reports)

- Build trusted relationships with regulators, Indigenous groups, and local communities
