Great technical leaders build great teams. We're seeking an experienced technical leader to take charge of a multi-disciplinary team with a leading mining house. Myndshift Group supports a number of industries including mining, civil construction and heavy engineering. With our extensive experience and wide-reaching network, we are proud to deliver the highest quality project personnel in partnership with some of Australia's largest companies.
Myndshift Group have been engaged by our client partner, a major mining house with a strong presence across Australia's resource sector, to appoint a Technical Services Superintendent to an established open cut coal operation in Central West NSW.
About the Role
- Lead the technical services function across mine planning, surveying, coal quality and logistics, drill and blast, and geology/geotechnical, providing clear direction and accountability for a multi-disciplinary team.
- Drive short, medium and long term mine planning to deliver safe, efficient and commercially sustainable coal extraction, balancing production targets with resource optimisation.
- Reporting to the Technical Services Manager, work closely with operational leaders to ensure delivery aligns with production targets, statutory requirements and environmental obligations.
- Stay close to the upstream technical work, bringing hands-on technical credibility while building, coaching and developing a newer, growing team.
- Champion a strong safety culture and collaborative working relationships across technical and operational teams.
What's on Offer
- Competitive salary package plus a $15K site allowance and a vehicle, rewarding the leadership and technical depth the role demands.
- 9-day fortnight roster, giving you extra time away from site and a genuine work-life balance.
- Relocation costs covered, making the move to the region straightforward.
- A well-established open cut black coal operation with a straightforward 3:1 strip ratio, so your energy goes into delivery, planning and leading people rather than managing operational complexity.
- A genuine opportunity to shape and lead a developing multi-disciplinary technical team.
- Work with a leading mining house, with the stability, resources and career pathways that come with a major operator.
What We're Looking For
- Tertiary qualification in Mining Engineering or a related discipline.
- Significant open cut black coal experience, with a strong background in mine planning and technical services.
- Proven ability to lead, develop and engage a multi-disciplinary technical team.
- Willingness to stay hands-on with upstream technical requirements.
- Sound knowledge of NSW coal mining legislation and regulatory requirements.
- Strong commercial, analytical and problem-solving capability.
- Excellent communication, influencing and stakeholder management skills.
