Construction-related environmental tasks will include; assisting with pre and post waterway notifications, quarry development applications and management plans, GIS capability, management plan updates, on ground assistance with compliance from CRN / Contractor side, conformance of environmental monitoring (dust, water, noise) and design of environmentally sensitive hydraulic structures.
