We’re bringing general expertise to develop local talent, strengthen regional capabilities, and deliver lasting value — establishing a trusted, long-term presence that supports sustainable growth and positions Argentina as a cornerstone market for mining, energy, and infrastructure development.

Job Summary:

Manage the obtaining, maintenance and monitoring of environmental and sectoral permits that enable the execution of the project in Argentina, ensuring that the engineering design, constructive planning and field activities comply with the applicable national and provincial regulations, with the commitments assumed before the authority and with the environmental standards of the client.

The position acts as a bridge between engineering and the regulatory authority:



it translates the legal requirements into verifiable design criteria, anticipates the environmental restrictions that condition the layout and the construction sequence, and maintains a critical permit route aligned with the project schedule. Its performance is measured by the absence of regulatory detentions and by the technical quality of the information presented to the competent bodies.

Major Responsibilities:

Permission management

- Preparing and keeping updated the project permits matrix, identifying competent body, submission requirements, legal deadlines and actual processing deadlines.
Prepare, review and submit the Environmental Impact Report and its biennial updates, along with the supporting technical documentation required by the provincial mining authority.
- Managing the associated sectoral permits: water use and concession, effluent dumping, emissions into the atmosphere, hazardous waste management, soil movement, intervention of native vegetation and transport of hazardous substances.
- Maintaining technical dialogue with provincial and national enforcement authorities, responding to observations, requests for additional information and audits.
- Timely alert the permits that constitute a critical route and propose sequencing alternatives when a regulatory deadline compromises the schedule.

Environmental studies and assessment

- Defining the scope of the environmental baselines — air quality, noise, surface and groundwater, soils, flora, fauna, glaciers and periglacial environment, archaeology and socio—economic environment - and technically supervise the consulting firms that execute them.
- Reviewing consultant deliverables verifying methodological sufficiency, representativeness of sampling and traceability of data before its incorporation into the file.
- Evaluating environmental impacts of the project, propose mitigation and compensation measures, and verify that they are reflected in the design criteria and technical specifications.
- Estimating hours, costs and deadlines of environmental studies for their incorporation into the project budget and program. <
