Cadia is a major gold and copper mining operation in central Recent South Wales, about 25 kilometres from the city of Orange and 250 kilometres west of Sydney. The site is known for the Cadia East underground mine - one of the world's largest gold deposits - which uses innovative block caving methods to produce gold doré and gold‑rich copper concentrate. Unlike remote mines, Cadia is a residential (drive‑in, drive‑out) operation where many employees live with their families in nearby communities, enjoying the Orange region's excellent lifestyle and amenities.

Cadia's team has a collaborative culture built around safety, innovation and community partnership. We proudly support local towns through jobs and in‑kind contributions and even run an Indigenous Buddy Programme to welcome and mentor new Indigenous employees. Working at Cadia gives you all the growth opportunities of a Tier-1 mine within a friendly regional setting - a place where you can advance your skills, be home with family, and contribute to both Newmont's success and the prosperity of local communities.

Your Impact

You will develop integrated plans, schedules and forecasting models that support safe and efficient operations at Newmont Cadia. Working within the Tailings team, you will apply your planning and analytical skills to deposition activities, storage capacity,



water management and operational performance.

This is an onsite role where strong planning capability, technical judgement and the ability to work across operational and technical teams are essential to success.
