About the Role

Joblin Partners is recruiting a Mine Accountant for a well-established underground metallurgical coal operation in Central Queensland.

Working as part of the site Commercial team, this is a hands‑on operational accounting role offering broad exposure across management accounting, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, cost control and capital expenditure.

This position retains a significant amount of accounting responsibility at site level. You will work closely with operational leaders and provide the financial information, analysis and commercial support required to improve business performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Support month-end processes, financial reporting, reconciliations and internal controls across the operation.
• Assist with annual budgets, monthly forecasts and ongoing financial performance analysis.
• Maintain accurate operational and capital accruals while supporting cost control and business improvement initiatives.
• Prepare capital forecasts, budgets and end‑of‑month capital reporting.
• Work closely with managers and site leaders to improve financial awareness and support better commercial decision‑making.
• Support the effective use of SAP and other financial systems across the operation.

About You

You will be a degree‑qualified accountant looking to build or further develop your operational accounting experience.

Mining experience would be advantageous but is not essential. Candidates from other asset‑intensive or operational industries such as manufacturing, agriculture, gas, LNG, energy or heavy industry are encouraged to apply.

• A Bachelor degree in Accounting, Finance or a related discipline.
• Relevant accounting experience in an operational or commercial environment.
• A strong understanding of accounting principles and practices.
• CA or CPA qualification, studies underway, or a genuine intention to complete professional accreditation.
• Strong Excel and broader Microsoft Office capability.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with operational stakeholders.
• A practical, commercially minded and hands‑on approach.

Location and Working Arrangement

The preference is for candidates who can work residentially or DIDO into the operation, although FIFO from Brisbane may be considered on a case‑by‑case basis.

The role operates on a 5/2/4/3 roster.

Relocation costs will be covered where required for candidates moving closer to the operation. Company housing options are available for residential employees, while camp or site accommodation is available for DIDO candidates.

What Is on Offer

• Broad exposure across both financial and management accounting in a major operating environment.
• Strong operational business partnering exposure across the site.
• 5 weeks annual leave.
• Relocation support where required.
• Subsidised residential housing and site accommodation options.
• Education assistance for relevant professional development, including CA or CPA studies.
• Health and wellbeing benefits.
• Lifestyle and employee discount programs.
• The opportunity to build site‑based commercial and operational accounting experience.
