An underground operation in Queensland extracting zinc, lead and silver, large in scale, is hiring a permanent Mining Engineer for medium term planning. The sequence is complex, there are multiple operating fronts, and development, stoping, ventilation, backfill, infrastructure, services and production readiness all interact; the mine is expected to run for a long time.
The engineer develops, maintains and continuously improves the plans and schedules that support production and development targets. Location can be Brisbane, FIFO to the mine or residential at the mine. Visa sponsorship is available for suitably qualified candidates.
