Diverse projects. High impact. No politics.

We're looking for a highly capable Senior Mining Engineer to join our technical consulting team. This is a hands-on role primarily focused on site support across Australia, through secondment-style assignments with a range of reputable clients.

You'll step into key site-based roles as they arise, covering planning, production, infrastructure and project engineering and work to standard Australian rosters (FIFO/DIDO). For consultants interested in international experience, offshore assignments may also become available. Internal project work and study support may arise from time to time, but the core of this role is delivering real outcomes where they matter most: on site.

This role suits someone who enjoys variety, responsibility, and technical depth. We're here to solve problems and add value to our clients, not to play office games.

About You

You're an experienced engineer who is:

Technically competent and confident stepping into a variety of site-based roles with minimal ramp-up time
Independent and self-directed – you don't need supervision to get the job done
Client-oriented – you understand the pressures site teams face and focus on delivering practical, fit-for-purpose solutions
Comfortable operating across short-term, medium-term and strategic mine planning
Experienced with Deswik CAD and Deswik Sched – proficiency is a must
Backed by solid practical experience on operational sites
A believer in strong safety culture and professional integrity
Legally able to work in Australia (Sponsor option available)
FCMMC ticket is a plus (not essential)

What We Offer

A wide range of technical secondments across different sites and clients
Exposure to diverse mining methods, systems, and teams – every role brings new challenges
Flexible employment or arrangements tailored to the individual
High autonomy – you manage your own work and time
Remuneration significantly above market, aligned with your capability and the impact you deliver
The ability to live anywhere in Australia – travel to site as needed
Future relocation opportunities for those interested in international assignments

Who This Role Is Not For

This isn't a training ground or a slow ramp-up position. It's for engineers who know what they're doing, are confident in their technical delivery, and thrive on being trusted to perform without micromanagement. If you prefer routine, or staying in one place, this likely isn't the right fit.

Apply

If you're looking for a rewarding role that offers variety, challenge, and the opportunity to make a real impact across multiple operations – we'd love to hear from you.

Send your CV and a short note telling us what you're after. No formal cover letter needed – we prefer straight talk. ( admin@mosmining.com)
