Senior 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.
Reporting to the Superintendent – Technical Services, you’ll lead a team of engineers responsible for providing technical expertise and support across the Open Pit operation. You have a broad remit across all short-term mining designs, plans and analysis, relating to Mine Planning, Drill and Blast, Mine Design, Waste Rock Dumps, Roads, Drains.
You and your team provides cost effective, functional and sound designs, that meet design criteria, ensure safety of personnel and maximise the recovery of the Reserve.
About you
You’ll be a tertiary qualified mining engineer (preferably) with hard rock mining experience. You’ll have previous experience working in an open pit operation, with some production supervisory experience. There’s a great team already in place, so we’re looking for someone who can not only provide technical guidance, but also leadership and mentoring to your team.
This is a great opportunity if you’re looking for a role where you can leverage your technical skills whilst developing a team. Site complexities will keep you on your toes and sharpen your agile thinking and communication skills.
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.
