Coronado Global Resources is one of the world's biggest producers of high-quality metallurgical coal.
Our global operations are located in two of the largest and most productive metallurgical coal basins in the world, the Bowen Basin in Queensland, Australia and the Central Appalachian region of the US, servicing customers throughout the Asia-Pacific, Americas and Europe.
Curragh Mine is one of the largest open-cut coal mines in Queensland's Bowen Basin and located only 12 kilometres from the local township of Blackwater.
What You'll Do
You'll play a key role in supporting safe and efficient operations by providing practical geological, geotechnical, and coal quality expertise to maximise recovery and maintain grade control.
You'll also guide and support site teams and contractors, ensuring work is delivered to a high standard and aligned with operational and business goals.
Your role will be interesting and varied and will include:
Conduct daily pit inspections and issue necessary coal, post-coal, and tuff permits to support safe and efficient mining operations.
Monitor coal loss and dilution in collaboration with survey, report outcomes to stakeholders, and ensure compliance with mining processes.
Support geotechnical analysis through hazard reporting, highwall mapping, pit floor inspections, and structural data collection.
Lead proactive communication with crews, contractors, and stakeholders to integrate geological and geotechnical considerations into daily operations.
Collaborate with production and technical services teams to identify opportunities to improve mining efficiency, performance, and operational outcomes.
Ensure all work is performed safely, in compliance with site procedures, and in alignment with best-practice standards and business requirements.
What You'll Bring
Previous experience in a similar Pit Geologist role;
Resource and coal quality modelling;
Tertiary qualifications in Geology/Geoscience;
Experience with mining software packages such as Vulcan, ISite, Geobank and GeologyCore;
Problem solving and strong analytical skills with a focus on continuous Improvement;
What we offer
With a short 15-minute drive to work every day and 2.5 hours from the Capricorn Coast, there are not many mine sites that can boast a quicker daily commute, or the ability to reside on the coast spending work time in company accommodation and days off on the beach.
You'll have access to excellent training and development alongside a highly skilled dedicated group of people who'll support you every step of the way.
Join a unique workplace that allows you to get involved, share your experiences, and leave a mark in a way that isn't possible elsewhere.
