About the Role

We're looking for a Shift Leading Hand to help run our mining crew at Cowal. You'll be the go-to person on shift, making sure the team is working safely, hitting production targets, and keeping things running smoothly.

• You'll lead prestart meetings and set up the shift board so everyone knows what they're doing.
• You'll keep an eye on safety, deal with any hazards, and make sure the crew is working to the highest standards.

• You'll step in for the Superintendent when needed and make sure the handover between shifts is smooth.

This role is hands-on and fast-paced, and you'll be working closely with operators, supervisors, and other teams to get the job done right.

• You're organised, a clear communicator, and can work well with others.
• You've got a current driver's licence, and a Cert IV TAE would be a bonus.
