Responsibilities include maintaining Environmental Management System, delivering expert environmental guidance, coordinating with regulators on permits and approvals, developing Environment Cases and assessments, and conducting environmental monitoring and compliance reviews. Our team ensures all activities meet or exceed established environmental standards while supporting the site’s transformation goals.
