Project Assistant

This is a standout opportunity for a graduate or early-career professional to step into a hands-on Project Coordinator role supporting global sustainability initiatives across the mining and metals value chain.

As demand for critical minerals grows alongside the energy transition, responsible production, environmental protection and community impact have never mattered more. This organisation works with companies and partners globally to raise standards, improve accountability and support sustainable development across complex international supply chains.

If you’re detail-driven, organised and motivated by purpose-led work, this role offers meaningful responsibility, international exposure and rapid skill development.
