- Site based position on the owners team
Rex Minerals is an Australian mining company dedicated to the development of its flagship A$1.0B Copper-Gold Hillside Project located on the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. The project will be a significant contributor to the South Australian economy and will provide employment opportunities for locals and for those looking to move to the area.
Hillside is in a fantastic location 150km from Adelaide and is one of the largest undeveloped copper / gold projects in Australia. Stage 1 of the project is fully approved, and early-stage site access work has commenced. Further site work and awarding of contracts and building the team to execute the project is currently taking place. The project will be an open pit mining operation with an option to go underground in the decades ahead and will be operated under a contract mining model with oversight from an experienced owners’ team.
The scene is therefore set and Hillside will be one of the next greenfield mining projects in Australia to get off the ground.
The opportunity:
The Senior Mining Engineer will play a key role in the successful development, design and operation of an open pit mining project from the pre-production stage through to full scale production. This position requires expertise in all phases of the mine life cycle, from initial concept and detailed planning to overseeing day-to-day operations
Ideally, we will be looking for candidates who are interested in being based on site at the project, however there may be some flexibility here and there based on project timelines and personal circumstances.
Skill sets required:
- 10 years of experience in mining operations, with at least 5 years in a senior engineering role, preferably in open pit mining
- Demonstrated experience in mine design, mine scheduling, cost estimation, and production optimisation
- Previous experience in leading multidisciplinary teams and managing external contractors
- Strong technical proficiency in mining software
- Expertise in mine planning and design, production scheduling, and resource optimisation
- Opportunity to be involved in the early stages as the mine is constructed over the next 2 years and then move into operations.
- Owners team position working directly for the client with an attractive salary package and a range of employee benefits.
- Join a great and growing team who are dynamic and passionate about the project.
- Relocation assistance available to South Australia. Candidates who are open to considering the Yorke Peninsula as there home will be favourable and we can discuss what that looks like on a case-by-case basis.
