Underground Mining Engineer - Site Technical Support Aus FIFO $200k+

Hands-on work. High trust. No politics.

 

We’re looking for a capable and independent Underground Mining Engineer to join our consulting team. This role is focused on site-based support across Australian underground operations, through technical secondments with a variety of established clients.

 

You’ll step into operational roles as they arise covering drill & blast, production, and short-term (up to 3-month) planning, typically working standard FIFO/DIDO rosters. For those interested, international roles may also become available over time. From time to time, internal technical project work may also be on offer.

 

This role offers genuine variety and responsibility, minus the corporate politics. You’ll be joining a team that values solid technical work, client outcomes, and professional trust over status reports and red tape.

 

About You

 You’re an underground mining engineer who:

• Has hands-on site experience in production and short-term scheduling

• Is confident with drill & blast planning and daily to 3-month planning horizons

• Knows your way around Deswik CAD and Sched – proficiency is essential

• Can hit the ground running and work with low supervision

• Takes pride in delivering useful, practical solutions to site teams

• Maintains a strong safety mindset and operates with integrity

• Has the right to work in Australia (essential)

 

What We Offer

• Exposure to a wide range of underground operations and mining methods

• Varied secondments across different clients and locations – no two roles the same

• Flexible employment or structures, tailored to your situation

• High trust, low oversight – we back you to manage your time and delivery

• Remuneration well above market for the right person

• Ability to live anywhere in Australia – travel to site as needed

• Opportunity for international assignments depending on interest and fit
