The role
As an Environmental Officer you will be part of a dynamic team and be responsible for undertaking environmental assessments of detailed and/or complex petroleum, geothermal and/or pipeline proposals. In this role, under limited supervision you will provide advice to the department's Executive, petroleum and energy sectors, public and industry organisations in relation to environmental legislation and policies and be involved in preparing technical advice and guidance for industry and other stakeholders. You will participate in divisional training programs, assist in preparing responses to ministerial and parliamentary questions, prepare written reports, documents and correspondence related to detailed and/or complex environmental assessments and make decisions and/or recommendations as required. You will contribute to maintaining divisional QMS business processes and participate in internal audits.
