Job Description

An established underground mining operation in Queensland is recruiting a permanent engineer for medium term planning, someone who can keep a complex extraction sequence workable across several operating fronts.

What the employer needs most is a plan that holds together. Production readiness, ventilation, backfill, stoping, infrastructure, services and development all interact at this zinc-lead-silver mine, and with a long mine life the schedule has to stand up for years.

The engineer appointed will create, maintain and keep improving the plans that deliver production and development targets.

/n

The employer is open on location, offering a Brisbane base, a fly-in fly-out arrangement or residential living at the mine. Visa sponsorship is available for suitably qualified candidates.

/n
Prepare, maintain and continually improve the mine plans and schedules behind production and development targets.

/n
Take Life-of-Mine and long-term planning strategies and turn them into practical medium-term mining sequences.

/n
Optimise each sequence for stope extraction, development timing,



ventilation availability and infrastructure readiness.

/n
Make sure medium-term sequences can be carried through into short-term plans.

/n

/n

/n
Tertiary qualifications in Mining Engineering, or in a related subject.

/n
Demonstrated underground hard rock mining experience.

/n
Exposure gained in mine planning, scheduling or technical services roles, preferably.

/n
Working experience with mine planning and design software (Surpac, Deswik or equivalent) applied to stope sequencing, schedule analysis and development planning.

/n
Solid understanding of production sequencing, development requirements and underground mining methods.

/n
The ability to read geotechnical, geological, operational and ventilation constraints and build them into practical mine plans.

/n
Robust analytical and problem-solving ability, including judging planning risks, identifying constraints and developing practical solutions.
