The Role
- You’ll work as a key technical contributor on underground metals mine planning projects, bringing your experience to bear on design, scheduling, and operational planning challenges for clients operating in complex hard rock environments.
- This is a genuine consulting role with technical depth: you’ll be solving real problems, not just reviewing other people's work.
- Based in Brisbane, you’ll be part of a tight-knit team of senior & principal engineers who take their craft seriously.
- The role involves occasional domestic and international travel to mine sites and client offices, giving you broad project exposure and the opportunity to build relationships across a global client base.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Underground mine design, life-of-mine scheduling, and backfill system planning for client projects.
- Delivering high-quality technical work and reports that clients can act on.
- Contributing to multi-discipline studies from feasibility through to execution.
- Supporting business development through technical credibility and client relationships.
- Domestic and international site visits and client engagement as project needs require.
What We’re Looking For
- Bachelor’s degree in Mining Engineering or related discipline.
- 5+ years’ experience in the underground metals sector, ideally in both planning and operational roles.
- Experience across mine design, production scheduling, and backfill planning.
- Proficiency in mine planning software particularly Deswik.
- Comfortable working autonomously and managing your own deliverables.
- Willingness to travel domestically and internationally on occasion.
- Strong written and technical communication skills.
- Full working rights in Australia.
Why Talisman Technical
- Work on diverse, technically challenging projects across the global metals sector.
- Senior team; you’ll be surrounded by people who’ll push your thinking.
- Brisbane-based; travel is project-driven, not a lifestyle.
- Competitive remuneration reflective of your level and experience.
If you’re ready to move into consulting or looking for a firm where technical rigor is the standard, we’d love to hear from you.
