- Support site management teams in maintaining compliance with project environmental requirements
- Lead or support accident and environmental incident investigations, identifying root causes and corrective actions
- Review environmental and sustainability performance data to identify trends and improvement opportunities
- Develop and implement environmental improvement initiatives and awareness campaigns
- Prepare and review environmental and sustainability plans, procedures, and supporting documentation
- Identify significant environmental risks and ensure appropriate controls are implemented
