You will be developing and implementing strategies and tactics to optimise commercial outcomes for the non-process infrastructure assets to enable delivery of the LoPP.

As an ideal candidate, you will have a qualification in related discipline with highly demonstrated operational and commercial experience within a similar environment. You will have come from the mindset where safety and people come first. You will hold demonstrated relevant work experience essential in comparative leadership roles preferably in mining, metals extraction or processing and critical expertise managing high value end to end multiple unit value chain operations.

You will have an ability to work with multiple stakeholders across a wide range of disciplines and have a high level of energy and commitment. You will be a pragmatic leader with excellent communication & problem-solving skills so as to be able to relate with impact to our senior stakeholders. You will be adept at developing mid to long-term departmental plans, changes and initiatives to achieve overall business goals by providing positive leadership, direction & guidance within the department and wider organisation. You will be capable of taking the team and wider business on a transformation journey.
