Why This Business

Join a major materials and mining organisation as it enters an exciting new chapter.

What You’ll Bring

• Strong surface mining experience, with proven ownership of mine planning and a broad grounding in mine engineering.
• A relevant engineering, mining, geology or technical degree, or equivalent proven industry experience.
• Practical knowledge of production, blasting, mine design and technical analysis, with the judgement to turn engineering principles into workable solutions.
• The confidence to influence stakeholders, communicate clearly and lead technical activity independently across multiple locations.

Who This Suits

You’re ready to broaden your impact across a region. You enjoy independence, build trust by delivering on your commitments and see regular travel as an opportunity to understand each operation and make a meaningful contribution.
