Job description

Austral Resources is a Queensland-based copper company building Australia's next mid-tier copper powerhouse in North West Queensland. Focused on unlocking the full potential of the region's world-class copper deposits, we have a portfolio that includes operating mines, development opportunities and extensive exploration ground. As our business continues to grow, so do the opportunities for our people.

We are looking for people who enjoy getting involved and making a genuine contribution to the success of the business. At Austral, you'll be part of a close-knit team where ideas are welcomed, effort is recognised and individuals have the opportunity to make a real impact. If you are looking for a role where you can help shape what comes next, we'd love to hear from you.

About the Role

The Rocklands Copper Project (Rocklands Copper Mine & Processing Plant), located 17 km west of Cloncurry in North West Queensland, is a premier copper asset within a Tier-1 mining jurisdiction. Currently transitioning from care and maintenance, the project is on track for a strategic restart in mid-to-late 2027.

Beyond its primary operations, Rocklands is permitted and equipped to provide toll treatment services for third-party ore. By acting as a central processing hub for the Cloncurry and Mt Isa regions, Rocklands is uniquely positioned to unlock the future copper potential of the entire district.

We are seeking a versatile and motivated Site Administrator Officer to join our Rocklands team. This is a residential based role.

What You’ll Do

Reporting to the SSE/GM of Rocklands, you will provide the day to day support to the GM and site leadership, including visitor sign-ins, incoming/outgoing freight, and travel logistics. You will assist in the coordination of new staff (contracting & direct), document control, site inductions and more.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist coordinating onboarding for both direct employees and contracting partners.
• Assist with site inductions, ensuring all statutory prerequisites, medicals, and VOCs are cleared prior to site access.
• Maintain training matrices, book internal/external courses, and track compliance certifications and refresher dates.
• Support site departments with purchase requisitions, data entry, and administrative workflows in Pronto Xi.
• Assist with accurate digital personnel records, document control, and site access registers.
• Provide day-to-day administrative support to the General Manager and site leadership, including visitor sign-ins, incoming/outgoing freight, and travel logistics.

What We Are Looking For

Key Requirements

• Prior experience in site administration, HR support, or training coordination (mining, heavy industry, or civil environments highly regarded, but not essential).
• Experience with Pronto Xi is welcomed and highly regarded (or exposure to comparable CMMS/ERP systems).
• Strong computer literacy across the Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook).
• High attention to detail, strong organisational capability, and the ability to prioritise tasks independently.
• Clear, professional communication across all levels of the workforce and external training providers.
• Current C-Class Australian Driver’s Licence.
• Current Cloncurry resident (or immediate local relocation).
• Ability to pass a pre-employment medical and drug & alcohol screen.

If you don't tick every single box or have all the qualifications listed above but are genuinely excited by this opportunity and have the right attitude, we still encourage you to apply! We value versatility and team fit just as much as tickets.

At Austral Resources, we value our people and recognize that they are the foundation of our success. We offer:

• Competitive Remuneration + Residential Allowance:Attractive base package plus a dedicated local residential allowance.
• Genuine Flexibility:Open to discussing flexible working hours, part-time arrangements, or tailored shift patterns to fit personal and family commitments.
• Local Cloncurry Lifestyle:True residential role—sleep in your own bed every night with zero camp living and an easy 17km commute.
• Supportive Culture:Work directly with the site leadership team during a major operational restart.
