• Ensure regulatory compliance in archaeology, paleontology, cultural heritage, geomorphology, landscape, ecosystem services and habitat compensation.

• Ensure that the MARA and El Pachón copper projects are aligned with international standards (IFC PS1, PS6, ICMM, Equator Principles, ISO 14001) and with Glencore's corporate guidelines.

• Support the Environmental Management in the definition of comprehensive sustainability strategies, incorporating technical, social and cultural dimensions in environmental management.

Experience for the role

• Total: +8 years in environmental management in mining, energy or infrastructure.
• In the specific role: Minimum 3–5 years in the preparation of EIAs and coordination of various studies such as archaeological, paleontological, geomorphological, ecosystem or landscape studies, presentations in public hearings, etc.
• Key Knowledge:

•Argentine environmental, heritage and mining regulations.

•Environmental Impact Assessment Processes and Public Hearings

•International standards: IFC PS1 (EIA), PS6 (critical habitats and offsets), ICMM, Equator Principles.

• Ecosystem valuation methodologies (TEEB, IPBES).
• Applied geomorphology techniques and landscape analysis.
• Protocols of archaeological and paleontological findings (registration, rescue, conservation).

• Design and monitoring of habitat compensation plans.
• Advanced English and Spanish, both oral and written.

Responsabilities

1. Lead the preparation, updating and technical review of Environmental Impact Studies (EIA).
2. Coordinate and supervise archaeological and paleontological studies (prospections, rescues, conservation of findings).
3. Plan and direct studies of applied geomorphology, including erosion, sedimentation and slope stability processes.
4. Conduct landscape and visual perception assessments, identifying aesthetic and visibility impacts on communities.
5. Develop analyses of ecosystems and ecosystem services (water, biodiversity, carbon, recreation).
6. Design, implement, and monitor habitat offset plans.
7. Coordinate external consultants in specialized studies (archaeology, geomorphology, landscape).
8. Support environmental and social permitting processes, responding to authority requirements.
9. Articulate with communities and stakeholders on heritage findings and habitat offsets.
10. Participate in internal and external audits, ensuring compliance and continuous improvement.
