Mining Engineer

Short Term Planning | Open Cut Truck & Shovel Operation, Queensland Coal

This organisation drives a robust company culture, places safety at the centre of everything it does, and is in the middle of an exciting new phase to support growth. As the business ramps up this unique truck and shovel operation, Pivot is engaged to find a Mining Engineer to join the site team, focused on short term mine planning.

About the Role

This is a site-based technical role central to the day-to-day and week-to-week execution of the mine plan. You will own short term scheduling for the truck and shovel operation, translating the life of mine plan into practical, achievable short-interval targets that align production, equipment, and grade control requirements. You will work closely with the operations and technical services team on site to ensure short term plans are realistic, safe, and responsive to changing pit conditions, and you'll play a key role supporting the site through its ramp-up phase.

About You

You bring solid site experience in short term mine planning within a truck and shovel environment, and you're comfortable working at the pace and detail short term planning demands — daily, weekly, and monthly schedules that hold up against the realities of the pit.



You're motivated by the chance to be part of a business in genuine growth mode, backed by a strong, established senior leadership team, and you thrive working hands-on with the operations team rather than purely at a desk.

Key Requirements

- Relevant degree qualification in Mining Engineering or similar
- Site experience in short term planning within a truck and shovel operation
- Hands-on scheduling capability (Spry, Deswick, Vulcan, or similar planning software)
- Strong understanding of Open cut coal mining operations and short-interval production constraints
- Ability to work closely with operations, technical services, and survey teams on site
- Strong communication skills across site and technical stakeholders

What's on Offer A highly attractive remuneration package, commensurate with experience. The role is offered as drive-in drive-out from the surrounding region, residential or FIFO from Brisbane— full details available on application. Genuine career upside working on a unique and growing operation. All discussions are held in strict confidence.
