Most commercial analyst roles involve reporting on an established business. This one gives you the prospect to own the economic model of a mining project as it moves towards production.

n

You will work directly with the CFO, Chairman and overseas mine-site finance team, analysing production economics, costs, forecasts and scenarios that will directly influence the future performance of an ASX-listed mining business.

If you have a strong investment banking, corporate finance or financial modelling background and want genuine exposure to the operational side of mining, this is an opportunity to make a significant impact.
