• Lead monitoring, analysis and adaptive management to identify emerging risks, drive timely remediation and improve ecological outcomes.
• Prepare and review compliance and regulatory reporting, ensuring monitoring results, risks, corrective actions and remediation progress are clearly documented and communicated.
• Provide technical input into environmental referrals, approvals and stakeholder engagement.
• Build and maintain relationships with internal teams, regulators and external stakeholders.
