Contract until June 2027
My client is seeking two dedicated and highly capable AO6 Senior Project Officers to join a dynamic team working on a statewide approach to managing and transforming Queensland's Abandoned Mine Portfolio.
The Opportunities While both roles will work collaboratively to unlock remediation, repurposing, and re-commercialisation opportunities across the state, they offer distinct areas of focus:

Across both roles, you will also be expected to:
- Plan, commission, and interpret findings from technical investigations and field monitoring activities.
- Develop technical specifications and lead procurement activities in line with approved budgets.
- Communicate and engage effectively with internal and external industry stakeholders to foster positive relationships and outcomes.
