Job description

Company: Liontown Resources Limited

Who are we?

Liontown Limited (ASX: LTR) is one of Australia's newest and most exciting lithium producers. Our Kathleen Valley Lithium Operation in Western Australia is a world-class, tier-one asset with a 20+ year mine life — and we're now expanding it.

Early works are underway. A 5.5MW ball mill is on order, underground development of the Northwest Flats orebody is progressing, and we're building the dedicated project team that will deliver the next phase of growth. This is an 18-month maximum term role, created specifically for our expansion plans, and is FIFO from Perth to Kathleen Valley.

As the Process Plant expansion moves through design, construction and commissioning, getting operations input right matters — permits need to be planned well ahead, and the plant needs to work for the people who will run it. This role sits at that interface, with genuine influence over how the expansion is designed, built and handed over.

If you want to build relationships across both project and operations teams on a live brownfields programme, this is the opportunity.

What you'll be doing

Reporting to the Project Manager, the Coordinator - Process Plant Operations is the site-based interface between the Expansion project team and Operations. This includes but is not limited to:

• Planning and progressing permits ahead of need, so construction and commissioning activities are not delayed
• Ensuring Operations has a voice in the design of the Process Plant expansion works, and feeding operational knowledge into design reviews
• Coordinating handover and tie-in activities between project construction and operations, ensuring both sides are ready
• Building strong working relationships across project, contractor and operations teams to keep information flowing both ways
• Participating in the project safety programme, including risk assessments and pre-start hazard analyses for interface activities
• Attending interface and progress meetings, and providing input into daily, weekly and monthly reporting

What we are looking for

• Brownfields mining project experience across design, construction and commissioning
• Background as an Engineer, or as a Supervisor with a trade background (e.g. fitter) — we're open to either path
• Strong relationship-building skills, with the ability to work effectively across project and operations teams
• Experience coordinating permits, approvals or similar planning-ahead processes on a live site
• A sound understanding of health and safety legislation and HSE management systems
• Current Australian manual driver's licence, White Card, and ability to satisfy standard WA mine site induction, ticketing and medical requirements

Why Liontown

At Liontown, you'll join a team that’s helping power the clean energy future — and a culture built on people who take ownership, back each other, and care about what they’re building.

This role offers something genuinely valuable for your career: experiencing how the Kathleen Valley expansion is designed and delivered; building relationships across both Project and Operations leadership; and the hands‑on site experience that’s hard to replicate elsewhere. Flexible roster options (8:6, 2:1, or 2:2) and competitive remuneration reflect how much we value the people who make the work happen.
