Environmental Manager

About the role

AXG Contracting seeks an environmental permitting leader to own the approvals pathway for a brownfield copper operation and a strategically important expansion in southern Peru. The immediate priority is leading the critical path for the MEIA-d, integrating environmental studies with engineering, and preventing permitting from constraining project schedule and value.

This owner's-team role has direct exposure to senior operating and technical leadership. It is not a corporate ESG reporting or communications position.

Responsibilities

• Lead the MEIA-d process from strategy and study planning through submission, authority observations, responses, and final authorization.
• Define consultant scopes, select and direct advisers, challenge technical quality, protect schedule and budget, and retain institutional knowledge within the owner's team.
• Work with mine, plant, and infrastructure engineers so permit requirements, alternatives, and environmental constraints are addressed before design decisions become sunk cost.
• Lead technically sound, ethical engagement with SENACE and ANA, and coordinate with SERFOR, the Ministry of Culture, MINEM, OEFA, and other competent authorities as applicable.
• Prepare clear, evidence-based responses to regulator questions and determine whether the appropriate response is clarification, additional data, mitigation, or redesign.
• Guide environmental work on flora and fauna, long-lived cactus species and footprint alternatives; dust, noise and vibration near potential receptors; and chemical inputs, transport and logistics.

Requirements

• Deep knowledge of Peru's mining and environmental framework.
• Engineering fluency to understand design choices and credibility to explain them clearly to authorities and stakeholders.
• Ability to lead environmental permitting and integrate environmental studies with engineering.
