Jobbeschreibung

Senior or Principal Mining Engineer

WSP Australia's Mine Advisory team is growing, and we are seeking a Senior or Principal Mining Engineer with strong underground mining experience to join our team.

If you've built your career in underground mining but are ready for a change from the FIFO lifestyle, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for. This is a predominantly office-based consulting role that allows you to apply your operational knowledge and technical mining experience across a diverse portfolio of projects, without the ongoing demands of a site-based roster. You'll remain closely connected to the mining industry, with occasional travel to client sites and projects as required.

You will work on complex mining studies and advisory assignments, helping clients develop practical, technically sound and commercially considered solutions. Depending on your experience, you may lead technical workstreams, manage projects, build client relationships and support the development of other mining professionals.

The role offers an opportunity to take the experience you've developed in underground operations and apply it more broadly across mine design, planning, scheduling, optimisation, technical studies and advisory work, while working alongside specialists from across WSP's Mine Advisory business.

This position can be based in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, or Melbourne.

• Deliver underground mine design, planning, scheduling and optimisation across a diverse range of mining projects.
• Apply your operational experience to mining studies from concept through to feasibility, helping shape practical solutions.
• Assess mining methods, production strategies, equipment requirements and project economics to support better client decisions.
