This position leads the Mining value stream, including mine waste management, mine closure and decommissioning, mining hydrology & hydrogeology, and construction/yellow iron capabilities where required. The role ensures compliant delivery aligned with state mining laws and applicable consent orders/cleanup criteria.

• Oversee program tools and controls such as compliance tracking by basin/regulatory authority, digital field data collection, and data visualization for program visibility.

• Experience with digital field data collection, automated reporting workflows, and analytics dashboards used for compliance/performance monitoring.

• Background in Upstream field support programs (basin/state regulatory environments) and/or mining closure and waste management programs.

• Familiarity with structured delivery frameworks that embed assurance (verification, documentation, audit trails) into workflows.
