Geotechnical Engineers
Level Up Collective has been engaged by an Australian miner to recruit a range of roles for its flagship asset in NSW. This tier one asset packs a lot into one site. Currently undergoing expansion works, the open pit and soon to be underground operation provides great opportunities to flex your technical and operational muscles.
We’re looking for two Geotechnical Engineers (open pit and/or underground) to build out their technical bench strength to support current and future expansion works.
Working as part of the broader integrated planning, you’ll provide geotechnical expertise, support and guidance to the mine. The site has a complex ore body and with the expansion works, there are various technical challenges requiring risk-based solutions that provide safe operating conditions to achieve operational objectives.
Key Responsibilities include:
About you
Our client is looking for tertiary qualified geotechnical engineers, ideally with hard rock mining experience. You’ll have previous experience working in an open pit and/or underground operation (preferably metalliferous), but equally as important is your ability to collaborate, be receptive to, and effect, change with a willingness to engage and influence at all levels.
You’ll have a working knowledge of specialised geotechnical, mining software and planning systems.
Why work for this organisation?
Everyone in the organisation, whether in a corporate office or onsite, an operator or a manager is encouraged to act like an owner. When we visited this operation, we asked a wide range of people what they enjoyed most about working at this operation. There were very consistent themes – friendly, collaborative, autonomous, complex, dynamic, accountability, safety-first, and a continuous improvement orientation.
This is a great opportunity to work in a tier one asset combined with the work/life balance of a residential/DIDO with a great local town, and nearby to so many great areas in NSW. The town is family friendly, with three well-resourced primary schools, a high school and a TAFE. There is an impressive array of sporting facilities, boutique shops, great restaurants and pubs, and community groups not often seen in a town of this size.
Most of the roles have flexible rosters (8/6 or 5/2/4/3 being most common), which opens the opportunities to those who may prefer not to relocate their families, or who may want to live further afield in places like Wagga Wagga, Canberra or even Sydney.
This organisation has a diverse and inclusive culture. They are open to amending rosters and adjusting key criteria for the right person. If you’re interested in this this but don’t fit ALL the criteria, reach out and let’s have a chat about how it may work!
To be considered for this role you must have Australian work rights.
