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 reliable 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…
