Join the OX Herd.
We're Looking for a Senior Operations Productivity Specialist (East Coast)
No bull... this is a genuinely outstanding 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.
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 simple, 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.
Brisbane-based
Experience implementing a Management Operating System, short-interval control or value chain improvement
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
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...
