Principal Mining Engineer
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.
As Principal Mining Engineer you’ll play a pivotal role, as part of the Integrated Planning team, in establishing the strategic direction of the operation for the life of the site for both open pit and underground ore sources. In addition to the annual business planning cycle activities, you and your team will lead on project work relating to the expansion plans.
Other key responsibilities include:
About you
This role could suit a current Technical Services Superintendent or Principal Mining Engineer with a demonstrable track record in short term, medium-term and long-term planning. Ideally, much of your experience has been gained in an open pit/hard rock operation, exposure to underground would also be highly advantageous.
You’ll thrive in an environment where you can use your technical, influencing and collaboration skills to guide the operational direction. Ideally you have people leadership experience, but we’re also open to those looking for a step up.
This is a great opportunity to have an impact on a whole operation.
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.
