Job description

The Opportunity

Stellar Recruitment is partnering with several established mining organisations across regional Queensland and New South Wales, with current and upcoming opportunities for Mine Accountants, Site Accountants and Senior Accountants.

Whether you're already working in mining or considering a move from a corporate or commercial accounting environment, these opportunities offer the chance to broaden your experience, accelerate your career and enjoy the financial and lifestyle benefits of regional living.

For those open to a change of scenery, spending a few years within a complex mining operation can be a fantastic way to develop your commercial capability, gain exposure to operational decision-making and build valuable experience that can set you apart throughout your career.

The Roles

Depending on the opportunity, responsibilities may include:

• Financial and management reporting, budgeting, forecasting and cost analysis.
• Month-end processes, reconciliations and operational performance reporting.
• Capital expenditure, project accounting and cost control.
• Partnering with site leadership and operational teams to support commercial decision-making.
• Driving improvements across financial processes, systems and reporting.

About You

We're interested in speaking with accounting professionals who bring:

• Experience in financial accounting, management accounting or commercial finance.
• Tertiary qualifications in Accounting, Finance or Commerce.
• CA/CPA qualification completed or underway (highly regarded, not essential).
• Strong Excel skills and exposure to ERP systems.
• A commercially minded approach and confidence engaging with operational stakeholders.

Experience across mining, resources, construction, energy, manufacturing or other heavy industry environments will be highly regarded. However, we're equally interested in speaking with ambitious accountants from broader commercial backgrounds looking to make their move into mining.

What's on Offer

• Competitive mining salary packages, with potential bonuses, allowances and other benefits.
• Opportunities across the Bowen Basin, Central Queensland, North West Queensland and regional NSW.
• Residential opportunities with relocation support, alongside potential FIFO/DIDO arrangements depending on the operation.
• Exposure to large-scale, complex operations and experienced commercial leadership teams.
• Genuine career development, progression and the opportunity to build valuable operational finance experience.

Interested in Exploring What's Next?

Whether you're looking for a long-term regional move or considering a few years in mining to accelerate your career, broaden your experience and get ahead financially, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.
