Myndshift Group supports a number of industries including mining, civil construction and heavy engineering. With our extensive experience and wide-reaching network, we are proud to deliver the highest quality project personnel in partnership with some of Australia's largest companies.

Myndshift Group have been engaged by our client partner, a major mining house with a strong presence across Australia's resource sector, to appoint a Technical Services Superintendent to an established open cut coal operation in Central West NSW.

About the Role

- Lead the technical services function across mine planning, surveying, coal quality and logistics, drill and blast, and geology/geotechnical, providing clear direction and accountability for a multi-disciplinary team
- Drive short, medium and long term mine planning to deliver safe, efficient and commercially sustainable coal extraction, balancing production targets with resource optimisation
- Reporting to the Technical Services Manager, work closely with operational leaders to ensure delivery aligns with production targets, statutory requirements and environmental obligations
- Stay close to the upstream technical work,



bringing hands-on technical credibility while building, coaching and developing a newer, growing team
- Champion a robust safety culture and collaborative working relationships across technical and operational teams

What's on Offer

- Competitive salary package plus a $15K site allowance and a vehicle, rewarding the leadership and technical depth the role demands
- 9-day fortnight roster, giving you extra time away from site and a genuine work-life balance
- Relocation costs covered, making the move to the region straightforward
- A well-established open cut black coal operation with a straightforward 3:1 strip ratio, so your energy goes into delivery, planning and leading people rather than managing operational complexity
- A genuine opportunity to shape and lead a developing multi-disciplinary technical team
- Work with a leading mining house, with the stability, resources and career pathways that come with a major operator

What We're Looking For

- Tertiary qualification in Mining Engineering or a related discipline
- Significant open cut black coal experience, with a strong background in mine planning and technical services
- Proven ability to lead, develop and engage a multi-disciplinary technical team
- Willingness to stay hands-on with upstream technical requirements
