About The Role

You will be working as a Project Manager on the Wales Metal Mines Programme (the Programme) in Wales, which is just one of our key strategic partnership programme related to legacy mining and mine water remediation.

The Programme is responsible for the development and delivery of plans for pollution mitigation and environmental improvement projects, across the portfolio of abandoned metal mine sites in Wales. This is a collaborative role that brings together a range of stakeholders and partners focussed on delivery of change that will improve the lives and environment in former metal mining communities in Wales.

The Programme includes a variety of remedial interventions including surface water and spoil heap management, and both passive and active mine water treatment schemes, often trialling and implementing novel and emerging technologies.

There are 1,300 abandoned metal mines in Wales, polluting more than 700km of river reaches. Remediating these legacy mines and mitigating the long term impact they have requires a substantial programme of works.

The Welsh Government are supporting Natural Resources Wales (NRW) and the Mining Remediation Authority in the delivery of a sustainable multi‑million pound national programme, to:

• reduce the pollution of land and rivers from metal mines in Wales
• mitigate the hazards and risks from metal mines
• protect and improve the condition and resilience of ecosystems
• promote and enhance health and well‑being
• celebrate and promote the heritage and amenity of Welsh metal mines
• support local communities and stakeholders
