Working closely with a highly regarded General Counsel & Company Secretary, you will advise on a diverse range of matters including commercial contracting, corporate transactions, debt financing, offtake arrangements, joint ventures, project development and business-critical operational issues.
As the company moves towards a significant FID milestone, this role offers the opportunity to play a key part in shaping and supporting the next phase of growth.
