Staying compliant in a fast-moving mining project isn’t the same as driving real progress. This role gives you the scope to shape land, environment, and access outcomes that keep projects on track and moving forward. You will join as Land Environment Officer , reporting to the Land Environment Strategy Manager. Based in West Perth with occasional site travel, this full-time staff position delivers hands-on support across land tenure, regulatory compliance, heritage, native title, and stakeholder matters as the company advances from exploration through development to production. What the role delivers: You will drive execution of compliance processes: identify obligations, assess risks, implement controls, monitor outcomes, and maintain accurate obligation registers. You will plan and coordinate project readiness reviews, design practical tools and templates for audits and inspections, and work directly with project managers, legal, regulators, and site teams to resolve issues before they escalate. Additional responsibilities include assisting with negotiation of access agreements to address Warden’s Court objections, supporting cultural heritage planning, Traditional Owner consultations, and heritage surveys. You will use GIS tools for spatial analysis, produce high-quality reports and communications, and deliver targeted training to embed consistent compliance standards across the business. This is a front-facing role where your professional, proactive approach builds trust with internal teams, Indigenous groups, communities, and government agencies. You will balance objectives with day-to-day demands in a resource-constrained, evolving environment, developing systems from the ground up and influencing compliance maturity in a growing organisation. Who this suits: You bring a degree in law, business, science or related discipline plus minimum 5 years’ regulatory experience in mining, construction or energy. You have delivered change management and system adoption, understand mining legislation, tenement management, heritage, and environmental requirements. Experience with stakeholder engagement, auditing, GIS, and clear persuasive communication across all levels is essential. You combine strong analytical skills with practical problem-solving, emotional intelligence, and the persistence to influence without direct authority. High integrity, initiative, and adaptability are non-negotiable. This role offers the chance to make a visible impact in a dynamic junior-to-producer transition. You will work in a collaborative environment where your contributions to secure land access, regulatory compliance, and sustainable project delivery are directly valued. If you are ready to move beyond fragmented compliance work and apply your expertise where it drives tangible project outcomes, apply now.
