Environmental Advisor – Yilgarn Hub Restart

About the Project
TSS are delighted to be partnering with Yilgarn Iron Investments on the restart of their Yilgarn Hub iron ore assets, including Koolyanobbing, Windarling, and Parker Range. The project spans active mining, legacy disturbance, and new exploration, requiring practical, site-based environmental management across approvals, compliance, monitoring, and rehabilitation.

About the Role
We’re looking for a capable Environmental Advisor to be the on-site environmental lead across exploration programs, mining operations, and progressive rehabilitation. You’ll monitor and report on compliance, track disturbance, support approvals processes, and help manage native vegetation, flora, and fauna.

This is a hands-on role: one day you’ll be in the field with drill crews, the next inspecting landforms or vegetation regrowth. You’ll work closely with the environmental lead, approvals consultants, Traditional Owners, and the site team to ensure obligations are met safely, practically, and proactively.

Key Responsibilities

Conduct scheduled and ad hoc environmental monitoring across exploration, mining, and rehab areas — dust, water, fauna, and vegetation condition

Monitor and track native vegetation clearing to ensure compliance with permits and boundaries

Support flora and fauna management, including recording sightings, weed control, and feral animal tracking

Maintain environmental registers, compliance logs, and internal databases

Assist with clearing permit applications (NVCPs, PoWs), liaising with consultants and regulators

Support heritage coordination — mapping, access control, and clearance activities

Conduct rehabilitation inspections — erosion, landform stability, species regrowth, and photo monitoring

Contribute to environmental inductions and toolbox talks for site teams and contractors

What We’re Looking For

3–5 years’ experience in a site-based environmental role in mining, exploration, or civil construction

Strong knowledge of WA environmental legislation and processes (Part IV/V, NVCPs, MCPs, PoWs)

Hands-on field experience — identifying vegetation, tracking fauna, monitoring ground disturbance

Experience supporting clearing compliance and rehab performance tracking

Ability to work closely with operational teams and Traditional Owner representatives

Tertiary qualifications in environmental science, botany, land management, or similar

WA C-Class Driver’s Licence

Basic GIS/GPS or mapping skills advantageous
