PERSONAL DETAILS Georgia Scott M: 0409 844 764 E: [email protected] CAREER PROFILE With over six years of environmental management and approvals experience, I possess a demonstrated track record as an Environmental Scientist and Advisor throughout several industry sectors, including mining, oil and gas, construction, environmental, land development (residential) and manufacturing industries. I was a key member of the Environmental Management and Approvals team whilst at ENV Australia and during this time I managed to build up a new mining industry service line whilst assisting my manager in achieving this and as a result I have been typically responsible for preparing mining proposals, mine closure plans and liaising with the relevant regulators. I have expertise in obtaining environmental approvals (both mining and development); compiling, implementing and monitoring Environmental Management Plans and site environmental management and monitoring procedures on demolition, earthworks and resource projects, and undertaking annual environmental reporting. I have undertaken Environmental Site Assessments (ESA's) (Phase 1 and 2) and remediation works on a broad range and scale of sites - this has involved desktop hydrogeological assessments, site inspections, historical site reviews, fieldwork, data management and interpretation, proposal and report writing, implementation of EMP's, project management, and business development. Together with liaising with the relevant regulators throughout a project's lifetime, I also prepare annual environmental reports for mine sites and conduct environmental monitoring and annual compliance auditing. Recently I have been developing my skills in tenure maintenance by working closely with a tenure management consultancy. This work involved further developing my knowledge and understanding of the Mining Act and its associated Regulations as well as preparing tenement applications in compliance with statutory requirements and time constraints. I also prepared and lodged statutory documents and correspondence that related to tenure obligations. I have developed my skills using programs such as Tengraph, Lease Control and Landgate as well as GIS applications such as ArcGIS. COMPETENCIES
