## Position Overview

We are looking for a skilled and motivated Mining Engineer to plan, direct, and oversee the engineering aspects of mineral exploration, extraction, and mine development.

The successful candidate will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure projects are delivered safely, sustainably, and within budget. A commitment to environmental responsibility and continuous improvement is essential to success in this position.

## Key Responsibilities

- Conduct preliminary surveys of mineral deposits in collaboration with geologists, geophysicists, and other specialist engineers to assess resource viability, extraction feasibility, and optimal development strategies
- Evaluate and determine the most suitable extraction methods by analysing factors such as overburden depth, deposit characteristics, and the physical properties of surrounding strata
- Prepare detailed plans for mine infrastructure, including tunnel and chamber layouts, shaft positioning, and the application of appropriate mining techniques to support safe and efficient operations
- Develop accurate project cost estimates, production schedules, and operational budgets, and provide regular reporting on progress, output, and expenditure against targets
- Identify, assess, and manage safety risks across all phases of project development, construction, and ongoing operations, ensuring compliance with relevant legislation and industry standards
- Evaluate the structural integrity and safety of mine walls, monitor risk of slippage and rock falls, and implement preventative measures and engineering controls accordingly
- Plan and co-ordinate the deployment of labour and equipment to meet efficiency targets whilst adhering to statutory requirements, safety guidelines, and environmental conditions
- Oversee mine ventilation, ground support, and water management systems to maintain safe and productive working environments
- Liaise with government authorities, environmental agencies, and stakeholders to obtain necessary licences, permits, and approvals for mining operations
- Monitor and ensure compliance with environmental management plans, rehabilitation requirements, and sustainability obligations throughout the project lifecycle
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of mining processes, equipment selection, and operational procedures to optimise productivity and reduce costs
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers, technicians, and site personnel as required

## Required Qualifications & Skills

- Proficiency in mine planning and design software such as Surpac, Vulcan, Datamine, or equivalent platforms
- Strong knowledge of relevant Australian mining legislation, safety regulations, and environmental compliance requirements
- Proven ability to prepare and manage project budgets, cost estimates, and production schedules
- Sound understanding of geotechnical principles, including slope stability, ground control, and rock mechanics
- Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to make sound engineering judgements under pressure
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with experience collaborating across multidisciplinary teams
- Valid driver's licence and willingness to work on site, including remote locations if required

## Preferred Qualifications

- Postgraduate qualifications in Mining Engineering, Project Management, or a related discipline
- Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng) status with Engineers Australia
- Experience with feasibility studies, mine closure planning, or rehabilitation programmes
- Familiarity with autonomous or semi-autonomous mining technologies and digital mine systems
- First aid certification and valid site-specific health and safety competency cards
- Experience working on both open-cut and underground mining projects across multiple commodities

## Why Join Us?

- Be part of a forward-thinking organisation committed to safe, responsible, and sustainable mining practices across Australia
- Access ongoing professional development opportunities, including support for chartership, postgraduate study, and industry training programmes
- Enjoy a collaborative and inclusive workplace culture that values technical excellence and rewards initiative
