The Role

This is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced Project Manager who thrives in an operational environment.

  • Ensure all work is completed in accordance with safety, environmental and statutory requirements.
  • Build strong working relationships across Operations, Technical Services, Engineering and HSE.
  • Provide regular project reporting and updates to senior leadership.

What We’re Looking For

To succeed in this role, you will ideally have:

  • Demonstrated experience delivering projects within an underground mining environment.
  • Previous experience working for an owner-operator mining business.
  • Strong understanding of underground mining operations and sustaining capital projects.
  • Excellent contractor management and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • A practical, hands-on approach with the ability to influence outcomes on site.

What’s On Offer

Our client offers:

  • The opportunity to join a growing Australian gold producer during an exciting phase of expansion.
  • A predominantly site-based leadership role with genuine influence over project delivery.
  • Exposure to a diverse portfolio of underground mining projects.
  • A competitive remuneration package.
