• Exposure to mining, autonomous or robotic systems, AI, geospatial technology, operational technology, heavy equipment or complex engineering/software environments

Why Join?

This is an opportunity to work with a leading global OEM of mining equipment and technology on the next generation of a major mining technology product.

Rather than working on a conventional enterprise software program, you’ll be part of an environment where advanced software interacts with the physical world – including robotic mining equipment, AI-driven capabilities and state-of-the‑art geospatial technology.

You’ll have genuine scale and complexity, leading an ART of around 60 people while collaborating across a global technology organisation of more than 300 professionals.

You’ll also benefit from flexibility around your daily start and finish times, while working onsite alongside the teams and stakeholders you’ll be supporting.
