Job Description

Senior Project Engineer | Perth-Based | Tier-1 Mining Project

n

You've probably spent years switching hats. Cost reports one day, a P6 schedule the next, engineering deliverables in between, usually answering to three different people. This role brings all three together under one title and hands you genuine end-to-end ownership of project delivery, on a major project for a Tier-1 client.

n

Macro Mining Services is the civil and contract mining arm of Macro Metals Limited (ASX: M4M). We deliver civils & earthmoving, pit-to-customer mining services, rehabilitation and exploration support across Western Australia's major mining regions, and we're known for being straight with clients and disciplined in our delivery.

You'll own scope, cost, schedule, and quality from project initiation through to close-out and handover and act as the single authoritative source of project performance data. Office based in West Perth, Fixed-term contract, minimum 12 months.
