The Role: Lead the Plant. Control the Product. Deliver the Plan.

We are seeking an experienced Coal Handling and Preparation Plant (CHPP) Superintendent to lead the processing and coal delivery function at Blair Athol Coal Mine. This is a senior operational leadership role with accountability for the CHPP, mobile crushing, haulage, train loading, coal quality and the interfaces that move saleable coal from the ROM through to customer delivery.

Reporting to the General Manager, Operations and SSE, this Monday to Friday (9 day fortnight) role is suited to a visible, hands on leader who can translate business priorities into safe, reliable and disciplined execution. You will set clear standards, build team capability, drive plant performance and ensure production, quality, cost and logistics outcomes are consistently achieved.

You will have direct influence over plant reliability, coal recovery, product quality, operating cost,



project delivery and logistics performance. The role calls for a leader who identifies constraints early, takes ownership of outcomes and continually lifts safety, efficiency and accountability across the operation.

- Manage operational relationships with rail and port service providers and proactively resolve constraints that could affect product delivery to the customer.

- Manage budgets, forecasts and operating costs across the CHPP, crushing, haulage and train loading functions, ensuring physical performance is aligned with financial expectations.

- Lead capital and minor project works within the processing and logistics areas, ensuring scope, safety, cost, schedule and operational outcomes are effectively controlled.

- Drive continuous improvement across throughput, recovery, reliability, logistics, cost and operational discipline, converting team ideas and performance data into measurable improvements.

- Provide accurate performance reporting and lead operational investigations and action close out, ensuring hazards, incidents and improvement actions are addressed to the required standard.
