  • Provide insights on statutory consultations and external marine planning matters.
  • Contribute to the team's information management and audit capabilities.
  • Serve as the primary contact for marine planning inquiries within the designated area.
  • Prepare engagement strategies for stakeholders in the marine planning area.
  • Ensure effective time management in all tasks.

Daily Responsibilities

  • Uphold the values and code of conduct of the MMO in daily activities.
  • Adhere to all MMO policies and procedures consistently.
  • Develop constructive relationships with customers and stakeholders.
  • Seize opportunities for personal and professional growth.
  • Support corporate initiatives as necessary.
  • Promote the MMO's mission and values externally.
