Environment and Closure Advisor

Sandfire continues to make strong progress toward its goal of being a sustainable mining company and global copper producer of significance and is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: SFR).

Sandfire currently has an opportunity for an Environment and Closure advisor to join our team. Reporting to the Environment Manager, you will be responsible for driving environmental compliance and supporting the implementation of mine closure strategies at DeGrussa. This hands-on, site-based role, operating on a 7-days on 7-days off roster, will see you working closely with internal stakeholders, contractors, and regulators to ensure that closure and rehabilitation activities are safe, compliant, and aligned with Sandfire’s values and operational model – "The Sandfire Way".

As the Environment and Closure Advisor, your work will be a dynamic mix of field-based monitoring, hands-on supervision, and technical environmental planning — all to support one clear goal: to ensure closure of DeGrussa is executed to the highest standard.

Here’s What Your Typical Day Will Look Like

• Heading out into the field to conduct environmental inspections — verifying performance for water quality, dust management, hazardous materials and waste management
• Monitoring flora, fauna, weeds, pests and rehabilitation, to track progress towards successful restoration of native ecosystems
• Supervising contractors and consultants working on environmental and closure-related activities — ensuring work is done safely, efficiently, and in line with approvals
• Calibrating and maintaining monitoring equipment, to ensure environmental data collected is accurate and reliable
• Verifying and analysing data, identifying trends, and using insights to inform and adapt closure strategies and manage environmental risk
• Preparing high quality reports for internal teams and regulators, contributing to compliance reporting, corporate ESG disclosures and formal closure documentation
• Supporting the administration of Land Use Permits, ensuring no works are done without the correct authorisations
• Participating in incident investigations and contributing to continuous improvement initiatives
• Providing technical environmental advice to team members, contractors and other stakeholders on-site
• Oversee administration of the site's geospatial database, and helping to manage closure risk registers
• Engaging with stakeholders — including Traditional Owners, local communities, and regulators — to ensure transparency and collaboration
• Delivering training and awareness programs when required, and helping others understand their environmental responsibilities
