About The Role

You will be working as a Project Manager منذ Wales, which is just one of our key strategic partnership programmes related to legacy mining and mine water remediation.

The Programme isમાં responsible for developing and delivering plans for pollution mitigation and environmental improvement projects across abandoned metal mine sites in Wales. This is a collaborative role that brings together stakeholders and partners focussed on delivering change that improves lives and the environment in former metal‑mining communities.

The Programme includes surface water and spoil‑heap management and passive and active mine‑water treatment schemes, often trialing 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 requires a substantial programme of works.

The Welsh Government is supporting Natural Resources Wales (NRW) and the Mining Remediation Authority in delivering a sustainable multi‑million‑poundéro programme, to:

• reduce pollution of land and rivers from metal mines in Wales
• mitigate 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
