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 skilled trust over status reports and red tape.
