Introduction:

ConsMin’s Woodie Woodie operation is an internationally recognised supplier of high grade Manganese and is located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, approximately 400 km south-east of Port Hedland. Woodie is a FIFO operation with direct charter flights from the General Aviation (GA) precinct at Perth Airport taking around 2 hours to our onsite airport.

Our Open pit mining operation relies on effective fleet coordination, accurate material movements and strong communication to safely and efficiently deliver the Daily mine plan.

We are seeking an experienced Mine Controller to join our site based Mine Control team. This is an opportunity to contribute directly to operational performance while helping strengthen our processes, teamwork and service to our operational stakeholders.

Description:

Reporting to the Mine Control Superintendent, you will act as a central coordinator for real time mining operations using our Wenco Fleet Management System to optimise equipment allocation, material movements and production performance.

This role is as much about judgement and teamwork as it is about operating the system. You will need to be precise, communicate clearly and work constructively with others while managing ever changing priorities throughout the shift.

You will work closely with Load & Haul, Maintenance, Processing and Technical Services to respond to operational disruptions and support delivery of the Daily mine plan.

Key responsibilities include:

Operate the Fleet Management System to monitor and manage the mining fleet in real time





Allocate haul trucks to loading units based on operational priorities

Balance loading units to minimise truck queuing, idle time and unnecessary travel.

Monitor ROM and Waste destinations to ensure Ore & Waste movements align with the mine plan

Coordinate with Mining Supervisors to adjust fleet allocation throughout the shift

Monitor equipment availability and operational constraints

Coordinate equipment movements during shift changes, blasting, breakdowns and weather events

Provide timely communication between Mining, Maintenance, Technical Services and Supervisors

Support drill and blast activities through effective equipment coordination

Maintain accurate operational information and support reliable production reporting

Accuracy matters. Decisions across our Woodie operation rely on the information coming from Mine Control, so attention to detail, data integrity and ownership of your work is essential.

We are looking for someone who is dependable, professional and easy to work with. Technical capability matters, but so does how you show up as a teammate.





You will be expected to:

Communicate clearly, respectfully and professionally, especially when the operation is under pressure

Work constructively with Operators, Supervisors, Maintenance, Technical Services and fellow Mine Controllers

Put people and safety first while maintaining a solid focus on production and operational performance

Support the team and contribute to a positive working environment

Bring a calm, practical and solutions focused approach to the control room

Demonstrate ConsMin’s values of Dedication, Teamwork, Simplicity, Innovation and Excellence.

Skills and Experiences:
