Key responsibilities include:

Providing technical leadership to support safe operation and risk management of TSFs and WSFs

Supporting the D5 Nominated Manager to identify, assess and manage facility risks

Conduct dam inspections and surveillance, coordinate monthly dam safety reporting and facilitate tailings and water steering committee meetings

Ensuring site conformance with D5 governance, assurance and reporting requirements

Contributing to sustaining capital works, including design criteria, hazard classification and risk assessments

Coordinating independent technical reviews and engaging with Engineers of Record

Interpreting monitoring data and communicating risk insights to stakeholders

Maintaining critical dam safety documentation and risk registers

Supporting delivery of brownfield and greenfield tailings and water projects

Minimum 10 years of experience in operations/consulting in the management, design and/or construction of tailings and water storage facilities.

Tailings technical management expertise supported by strong geotechnical capability.

Experience in dam break studies and consequence classification aligned to ANCOLD, DETSI or equivalent, and GISTM

Proven experience in undertaking or coordinating risk assessments (e.g. FMEA) and applying ALARP principles

Capability to investigate and manage dam safety incidents and implement corrective actions

Strong communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey complex technical information

Demonstrated stakeholder engagement capability across operations, projects and external consultants

What we offer

Ongoing professional development and exposure to industry-leading standards and practices

A supportive environment focused on safety, collaboration and continuous improvement
