Underground Mining Surveyors

About the role

We are looking for an experienced Underground Mining Surveyor to join our Mining Services Division.

Our work is varied and ever-changing, requiring a practical and flexible approach. From using underground drones on some sites to traditional CMS and CALS methods on others, adaptability and a sound understanding of surveying fundamentals are important.

Roster is 8/6 days for initial deployment, with potential for 2/2 weeks depending on future project needs.

Key responsibilities

• Conduct underground surveying activities, including survey control installation, laser installs, survey pickups, ring mark ups, and occasional general site surveying needs such as surface infrastructure and ROM surveys
• Prepare and issue mining instructions on time so production isn't held up
• Work across a range of systems and technology including: Leica Total Station, Trimble GPS and Deswik Software. Hovermap or Ellios drone experience well regarded, with DJI drones, Agisoft or Global Mapper experience advantageous on the surface side.
• Build strong working relationships with site teams to help continued survey delivery on site

About you

• Recognised surveying qualification
• Underground survey experience and the ability to run a site's survey work independently, without close supervision
• Quick to pick up whatever systems and equipment a site run
• Confident dealing directly with client mine personnel
• RPAS/RePL certification is a plus, not a must
• Grade 1 Authorisation highly favourable, not essential
• Right to work in Australia

Benefits

• Superannuation paid on every hour worked
• Access to a profit share program (casual and full-time staff)
• For full-time roles: annual leave, paid parental leave (after 12 months), support for further education, and opportunities for professional development, including conference attendance.
• Professional development including working toward Grade 1 Authorisation if not yet attained
• Variety of projects and technologies over time
