Coronado has a clear growth strategy for Curragh. With an approximate 20-year life of mine remaining, we have long-term career prospects and great job stability available for our team. We ask our leaders to drive change, think differently and lead new projects and initiatives to build on the operational strength of our asset.
Curragh Mine, near Blackwater, is one of the largest open-cut coal mines in the Queensland Bowen Basin. Curragh produces more than 12 million tonnes of coal per year with a mining fleet which includes 4 large draglines. Coal is mined from two mining areas and washed through two plants, producing several different metallurgical products. The combination of scale, mining areas and different products makes this a challenging and satisfying place to work for any mining professional.
About the Role
We currently have a vacancy located at our Curragh Mine in Blackwater for experienced Process Engineer working on a 7/7 roster. This permanent role reports to the Superintendent CHPP Production and is responsible for helping to ensure optimal process efficiency of the Coal Handling and Preparation Plant's (CHPP's) in processing Curragh's coal reserves while achieving consistent products within customer specification at minimal cost.
Your role will be fast paced and varied and will include:
* Work closely with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders to develop plans that increase production capacity and reduce site unit costs;
* Contribute to the identification, development and delivery of process improvements and opportunities within Curragh's two CHPP's;
* Heavily involve in coal preparation plant unit operation processing and operational best-practice guidelines and continuous improvement in prep plant practices and
* Work closely with operational team to provide technical support and ongoing coaching to drive plant efficiency.
About You
We're looking for a safety-focused, results-oriented professional with the ability to influence and build positive, ethical relationships across a wide range of stakeholders.
Tertiary qualifications in Process/Chemical Engineering, Minerals Processing or Metallurgy, along with practical experience in minerals processing operations, are essential for this role.
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.
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.
Coronado Curragh values collaboration, taking accountability, respect for each other and striving for excellence in all that we do. We are an inclusive employer who values and responds to innovation and we encourage and recognise employee contributions and ideas. We reward our people's effort and performance.
