Senior project engineer

Adelaide
Liontown
Posted: 3 June
Offer description

Who are we? Liontown Limited (ASX: LTR) is one of Australia's newest and most exciting lithium producers. Our Kathleen Valley Lithium Operation in Western Australia is a world‐class, tier‐one asset with a 20+ year mine life — and we're now building on that foundation through a significant staged underground expansion. The expansion is underway. Underground development of the Northwest Flats orebody is progressing, infrastructure programs are accelerating, and a dedicated project team is being assembled to deliver the next phase of Liontown's growth.

The Opportunity

Reporting to the Infrastructure Superintendent, this is a hands‐on engineering role sitting at the intersection of project management and underground infrastructure delivery. You'll be involved in the design, resourcing, and execution of a broad range of infrastructure projects supporting both ongoing underground operations and the expansion program. From sustaining capital works — pump stations, escapeways, ventilation controls — through to more complex expansion‐related infrastructure, you'll play a key part in keeping Kathleen Valley's underground running safely and efficiently.

What You'll Be Doing
* Assist with the design, resourcing, and project management of all infrastructure associated with underground operations, including key projects for the underground expansion
* Manage sustaining capital items including pump stations, escapeways, and ventilation control infrastructure
* Support end‐to‐end delivery of underground capital projects from scoping and design through to construction and handover
* Develop and manage project schedules, track costs, and drive delivery within budget and program
* Coordinate with contractors, Technical Services, Production, and Planning teams to ensure infrastructure works align with operational priorities
* Monitor the condition and performance of key underground infrastructure systems and support proactive maintenance planning
* Contribute to capital expenditure planning, CER preparation, and procurement activities
* Identify and implement continuous improvement opportunities across project workflows and infrastructure systems
What We're Looking For
* Tertiary qualification in Civil, Mechanical, or Mining Engineering — we welcome candidates from across these disciplines
* Experience delivering infrastructure or capital projects in an underground mining or heavy industrial environment
* Working knowledge of underground infrastructure systems such as dewatering, ventilation, power distribution, or escapeways
* Demonstrated ability to manage project schedules, budgets, and contractors
* Strong collaboration and communication skills — you'll be working closely with operational and technical teams
* Ability to work independently, exercise sound judgement, and thrive in a live mining environment
* Project management experience or certification (PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent) desirable
* Current Australian driver's licence and ability to satisfy standard WA mine site requirements
Why Liontown

At Liontown, you'll join a team that's helping power the clean energy future. Our culture is built on people who take ownership, look out for each other, and are proud of what they're building together. This role offers real breadth — sustaining capital, expansion infrastructure, and underground operations support — on a live, growing site. This is a permanent position on an 8:6 roster (12‐hour days), with competitive remuneration on offer.
