Get Closer to the Operation. Drive Real Change.
We're seeking a Project Mining Engineer to join a leading underground gold operation and play a key role in bridging the gap between Technical Services and Operations.
This is a hands-on role suited to an engineer who enjoys being in the field, working directly with site leadership and influencing operational performance through practical engineering solutions. You'll gain exposure across projects, production, planning, ventilation and mine infrastructure while working closely with operational stakeholders to deliver meaningful business improvements.
Why Apply?
- Work directly alongside senior operational leadership
- Be the link between Technical Services and Mining Operations
- Gain exposure across production, projects, planning and infrastructure
- Play a key role in driving operational improvement initiatives
- Opportunity to oversee major underground capital infrastructure projects
- Excellent platform for future leadership and management progression
Reporting closely to site leadership, you'll provide practical engineering support focused on operational performance, productivity and project delivery.
Key Responsibilities
- Partner with operational leaders to identify and implement business improvement initiatives
- Drive process improvements to enhance productivity, safety and efficiency
- Analyse production and equipment performance data to identify optimisation opportunities
- Monitor and report on underground operating costs and performance metrics
- Assist with planning and delivery of underground infrastructure projects
- Support capital works including pump stations, fuel bays, underground magazines and mine services
- Collaborate with Production, Planning and Ventilation teams to achieve operational objectives
- Assist the Mining Engineering team across planning, production and project activities
- Build strong relationships with site stakeholders and operational teams
- Bachelor of Mining Engineering or equivalent qualification
- Underground hard rock mining experience
- Exposure to mine production, projects and operational environments
- Strong analytical and problem-solving capability
- Ability to work autonomously and identify improvement opportunities
- Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills
- Current C Class Manual Driver's Licence
- Experience with Deswik highly regarded
- WA Underground Shift Supervisor's Certificate or First Class Mine Manager's Certificate highly regarded
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This isn't a traditional planning or production role. It's an opportunity to gain broad operational exposure, work alongside experienced mining leaders, and develop the practical site-based skills that set engineers up for future leadership positions.
If you're looking to move beyond the desktop, influence site performance and build a well-rounded mining career, we'd love to hear from you.
