The work includes, among other things:

• Participate in and/or act as project manager for projects related to the development of Waste Management Plans and Closure Plans,
• Participate in and/or act as project manager for Extractive Waste Management and Closure projects,

Qualifications

You have a university degree in engineering or earth sciences, with a suitable specialization or education in environmental science, geology, geochemistry, hydrology, or water chemistry.
