Environmental Manager
Global Lithium Resources Limited
Job Description
Overview
Global Lithium Resources Limited β West Perth WA
Global Lithium Resources Ltd (ASX: GL1) is a rapidly growing Australian lithium exploration and development company transitioning towards production. The Company has built a high-quality portfolio of lithium assets in Western Australia, led by its flagship 100%-owned Manna Lithium Project in the Goldfields region and the Marble Bar Lithium Project in the Pilbara.
The Manna Lithium Project, located approximately 110km east of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia's Goldfields region, hosts a JORC Mineral Resource of 51.6Mt @ 1.0% LiβO and a JORC Ore Reserve of 19.4Mt @ 0.91% LiβO. Supported by a granted 21-year Mining Lease, a Native Title Mining Agreement with the Traditional Owners, and a completed Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS), Manna is well positioned to become one of Australia's next significant lithium operations.
As part of its next phase of growth, Global Lithium has entered into an agreement to acquire the Nova Operation, including an existing processing plant and extensive operating infrastructure. This transformational acquisition has the potential to significantly reduce development capital, accelerate first production and establish an integrated mine-to-processing business, positioning GL1 to become one of Western Australia's next lithium producers.
Backed by leading strategic shareholders including Canmax Technologies, Mineral Resources Limited (ASX: MIN) and Lopal Technologies, and led by an experienced Board and executive team, Global Lithium offers employees the opportunity to join a high-growth company at a pivotal stage as it advances towards construction, first production and long-term operational success.

- Oversee and manage the drafting and preliminary negotiation of Native Title Mining Agreements for the Manna Project.

The Ideal Candidate
- A Degree in Environmental Science, Environmental Engineering, Resource Management, or a related discipline.
- 7+ years' environmental management experience in mining or major construction in Western Australia.
