Job description

Our Infrastructure work is at the heart of our business. Developing and implementing solutions to complex problems, our team is helping to shape the world we live in across the Asia Pacific. We offer the opportunity to build a career path within a fascinating industry, in a business line that offers variety, challenge and tremendous growth potential.

The opportunity

This is a newly created role to lead the planning, management, and delivery of multidisciplinary mining studies and projects across QLD, while growing Beca’s market presence by developing our Mine Infrastructure and Mine Closure offerings.

This is a key role in our ongoing successful growth strategy and while no 2 days are the same the key focus areas will be:

• End‑to‑end stewardship of concept, pre‑feasibility, and feasibility studies including scope, schedule, budget, risk, quality, and governance, to deliver timely, high‑value outcomes for clients.
• Market development and client engagement for mine infrastructure in coal and precious metals, building a sustainable pipeline and converting priority opportunities.
• Leadership of the Mine Closure offering in QLD, shaping closure strategies and studies to position Beca as a trusted advisor
• undefined
• Work collaboratively with and make internal connections with existing key support teams such as the core and specialist engineering disciplines and the planning and environment sections.

Based in our Brisbane office, you will have the chance to work in a highly collaborative and experienced team both locally, nationally and across the Asia Pacific region that is focused on creating a culture of creativity and innovation, developing personal and design skills, developing long‑term client relationships and empowering the success of our people.

Working amongst a group of highly motivated professionals, you will step into an open and supportive culture that values the skills that you can contribute to the group. We will provide you with a wide range of technical and leadership challenges that will continue to grow your skills and knowledge.

About you

In this new role you will have a Bachelor of Engineering (Civil, Mining, Geotechnical, Mineral Processing) or equivalent tertiary qualification and a proven record of achievements in this sector. You will bring a wealth of experience that we can enhance and build upon to achieve successes in this area.

Having a strong background in coal, you’ll bring established QLD relationships to accelerate delivery, client traction, and sustainable growth.

Experience and connections with resources clients at both head office and site operational levels could be your differentiator. In addition, experience with regulators, relevant state, local and federal government standards, regulations and guidelines in relation to the resources sector is expected.

Experience in successful delivery of relevant resources studies and projects and team leadership is essential.

Flexibility, proactivity and an understanding of the importance of teamwork in a consultancy setting are essential attributes in this role. In addition, you will possess excellent communication skills, well developed interpersonal skills, and the ability to display initiative.
