Job description

Mammoth has been producing since 2024. The start-up phase is behind us, and we're now transforming the mine into a steady, well-run operation that lasts. We're looking for an HR Superintendent to own the people side of that work.

This is the senior HR role on site, with full accountability for the HR function. You'll work closely with the General Manager and the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) on the business, shaping where the site is heading, and in the business, making sure the essentials are done well every day. It suits someone who thinks about the long game and strategy, and who is just as happy rolling up their sleeves to get things done.

About Mammoth Underground

At Mammoth Underground, we're building a modern underground coal mine that aims to set new standards for the industry. We're focused on producing high-quality resources, and on doing it through innovation, responsible mining and strong partnerships with the communities we work alongside.

We're taking a smarter approach to traditional bord and pillar mining, adopting more efficient ways of working that reduce our environmental impact and make the most of every resource. We believe mining and environmental responsibility go hand in hand, and we're committed to proving it.

Why this role, why now

• Be part of moving the mine from start-up into steady state, and set the standard for how people are led and managed on site.
• Help shape the SLT as it settles into how it leads the operation together.
• Own the people priorities in the site's Plan on a Page, our one-page plan for where the operation is heading, and see them through.
• Build strong HR foundations (people, policies, systems and capability) that will carry the mine forward for years to come.

What you'll do

• Lead the site HR function, with full accountability for people outcomes on site
• Develop and deliver a site HR strategy linked to the operation's business and production goals
• Be a trusted adviser to the General Manager and SLT on people, culture and workforce decisions
• Manage day-to-day HR, including workforce management, policy and procedure updates and interpretation, and guidance on the site's enterprise agreement
• Lead employee development and succession planning, so the site grows its own leaders
• Oversee the payroll and accommodation functions
• Lead engagement initiatives that make Mammoth a place people want to work and stay
• Coach and guide the HR Advisor

About you

• Tertiary qualifications in human resources or a related field
• 6+ years' HR experience, ideally in mining, resources or a similar operational environment
• Strong working knowledge of Australian employment law and enterprise agreements
• A strategic thinker who delivers. You're comfortable moving between the SLT table and the day-to-day HR work that keeps a site running
• The ability to build trust and influence at every level, from the crews to senior management and above.
• Excellent organisation and time management. You can run several priorities at once, meet deadlines and work at pace with limited direction

What's on offer

• Competitive salary plus superannuation, and participation in the bonus incentive program
• Company vehicle
• Site allowance and mobile phone allowance
• FIFO from Brisbane, Rockhampton or Yeppoon, or DIDO, on a nine day roster
• Camp accommodation in Blackwater with your own ensuite room, meals, gym and cleaning provided, or a local living subsidy to cover rent in Blackwater.
• Salary packaging, including novated leasing
• Access to a confidential Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

Applications close 20 November 2026.
