Underground mining engineer

Brisbane
MEC
Posted: 6 June
Offer description

The MEC Approach

We're building careers that last decades, not just filling rosters.

While some companies inflate titles and salaries to attract talent in a hot market, we focus on sustainable career development. Our engineers are valuable because of their skills, not just their years of service.

As the mining sector continues to evolve, our people have real expertise that stands up to scrutiny. They become the technical specialists, the peer reviewers, the go-to experts. That's the career we're offering you!

Why this role is different – Your Support Network

* Frequent collaboration with your Manager and Principals (AusIMM CPs, 15-25 years' experience)
* Technical backup when you need it- got a complex geotechnical question? Call our Principal Geotech
* Multi‐disciplinary team: mining, geology, resource, geotech, environment.
* Mentorship that actually happens. Not "when they have time," but structured and aligned to your career goals.
* Peer network of mining engineers at your level solving similar problems.
* You're supported, not isolated. You're trusted, not micromanaged.

What Your First Year Could Look Like

* Project 1 (3 months): Stope design for a nickel mine in WA
* Project 2 (2 months): Scheduling optimization for a gold operation in QLD
* Project 3 (6 months): Embedded with a client's team, mentoring their junior engineers
* Project 4 (4 months): Drill & blast optimization for a copper mine

That's 4 different mines. 4 different commodities. 4 different technical challenges. We give you variety. You choose how much.

Want to rotate through lots of short projects, or would you prefer 6-12 month deep dives? We work with your preference.

About You

* 4+ years technical experience in underground hard rock mining.
* Degree in Mining Engineering (or equivalent).
* Exposure to different underground mining methods and approaches.
* Current and unrestricted working rights for Australia.

Demonstrated Capability In 2 Of The Following Areas

* Drill & blast design and optimization.
* Mine design (stope layouts, development, infrastructure).
* Production scheduling and planning.

The Perks?

* 5 weeks annual leave.
* Genuinely flexible working arrangements, start and finish times to suit your life and commitments outside of work.
* Performance-based bonuses paid quarterly.
* Generous internal recognition programs such as Employee of the Month, service milestones, referral bonuses ($2,500 up to $10,000).
* AusIMM membership.
