Senior Mining Engineer (Studies)

If you are thinking about what comes next in your career - more balance, more variety, more influence - consulting may be the step that opens those doors. Many great engineers hesitate because they assume it means moving away from “real” engineering. In our team, it is the opposite. You keep your technical depth while broadening the scope of problems you get to solve.

Why This Role?

Influence more outcomes:

Partner with global mining companies on development, optimisation, and studies. Your technical input will help shape decisions and drive improved bottom line outcomes.

Think global:

Break the repetition of working at one site - collaborate across our international offices, with occasional site visits to various projects at a range of mines.

Grow beyond technical:

Strengthen your commercial skills while staying connected to your technical discipline, be supported by some of the best mining & studies leads in the business.
