? Join the OX Herd. We're Looking for a Senior Operations Productivity Specialist (East Coast)
No bull… this is a genuinely great role.
Are you ready to yoke up with a team that puts people first, thrives on simplicity, and knows how to have fun while delivering serious results for mining operations?
At OX , we're a small but mighty crew helping mining teams lift performance, solve real problems, and unlock value they didn't know was stuck. We're growing on the East Coast, and we're looking for a Senior Consultant-level Operations Productivity Specialist to lead workstreams on site with our NSW and Queensland clients. Ideally you're in Brisbane, but anywhere on the East Coast works. Fair warning: this is a boots-on-the-ground role, and you'll be on site most weeks.
If you've ever thought, " I wish I could do meaningful work without the corporate bull "… you're in the right paddock.
? What You'll Be Doing
You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with OX and client teams, leading your own patch of the engagement and owning the outcome. That looks like:
- Leading a workstream and its client task team through to delivery, with minimal supervision
- Solving problems at the work-package level: getting to root cause, building the analysis and landing actionable, client-ready recommendations
- Coaching frontline leaders through to Superintendents on how to run their area better
- Setting up and running the work plan, milestones and priorities for your workstream, and coordinating with the other workstreams around you
- Turning complex ideas into straightforward, visual, "ohhh now I get it" documents that need minimal rework
- Building practical tools that stick (reports, trackers,
visual boards, MOS cadences)
- Mentoring the Consultants working alongside you
- Spotting opportunities for the client and for OX, and feeding into proposals and BD
- Being a positive force who lifts the herd, not drags it down
Basically: you'll help clients get unstuck, using clarity, structure, and good old-fashioned elbow grease. And you'll be trusted to do it without someone looking over your shoulder. ? Minimum Requirements (No Bull)
To pull this yoke with us, you'll need:
- 8+ years of relevant experience, with real site exposure in mining operations and/or consulting with site delivery
- A background as a Supervisor through to Superintendent (or equivalent), or in operational improvement consulting on site
- Experience leading an improvement scope or workstream with a client or site team
- Based on the East Coast of Australia (Brisbane preferred), and able to spend 60%+ of your time on site (rostered or as the work demands)
- Legal right to work in Australia
- Strong analytical and problem-solving chops, and the judgement to know when good enough is good enough
- The ability to build trust quickly with operators, frontline crews and their leaders
- Initiative (you pull your weight without waiting to be told)
- Hunger to learn, grow,
and take feedback (and give it)
- Values that match ours ( People-First, Humble Confidence, Genuine, Simplicity, Energy Giver )
If those don't resonate, this probably isn't your herd. ? Nice-to-Haves (Not Deal Breakers)
- Brisbane-based
- Experience implementing a Management Operating System, short-interval control or value chain improvement
- PowerPoint & Word wizardry
- Excel & Power BI skills
- Tertiary qualification in Engineering, Science or Finance
- Ability to tolerate (and maybe enjoy) the occasional ox pun
? What's In It For You? (The Good Stuff) This role comes with serious career upside . We're a small, fast-moving herd, so you won't be stuck in a paddock. You'll own real outcomes from day one, grow into leading engagements, and one day we'd love to call you our herd-boss.
You also get
- A career pathway that moves at your pace, based on readiness and performance rather than a fixed timeline
- Tailored development plans + coaching & training
- A high-performing, energetic team that actually cares about you
- Competitive salary, annual CPI adjustment + a share of company profit through our employee bonus scheme
- Flexible work arrangements
- 5 extra days off at Christmas (because we like you rested)
- Your birthday off (because cake > work)
- A legendary year-end getaway for you + your partner/family ( think Bunker Bay Resort… but each year, we raise the stakes. )
? Ready to Join the Herd? If you're a smart, humble, energetic human who has run improvement work on site and wants to lead it properly…
