- Assisting in developing strategies to address native title and Aboriginal cultural heritage issues within Arrow's corporate structure and profile;

You will require a grass roots appreciation of the need to establish and maintain an appropriate level of interaction with all Indigenous stakeholders. Knowledge of the coal seam gas and/or the liquefied natural gas industry is desirable.
