Newcastle Maitland Hunter, Australia Joblin Partners Pty Ltd Full time $150,000 - $200,000 per year

Our Client

We are representing a highly regarded resources company with a strong operational footprint across New South Wales. With long-term approvals secured and a clear growth outlook, this mine is a cornerstone operation producing high-grade thermal and semi-soft coking coal.

Due to internal movements, the business is now seeking an experienced Technical Services Superintendent to lead the medium-term planning function at its Hunter Valley site.

About the Role

Reporting to the Technical Services Manager, this leadership role is responsible for overseeing the medium-term planning function and providing direction across mine planning and design activities.

You will lead a team of mining engineers, working closely with the broader Technical Services group and operational departments. The position covers planning horizons from quarterly schedules through to life-of-mine, with accountability for producing quality designs, driving scheduling accuracy, and supporting ongoing approvals and studies.

This role offers a genuine opportunity to step into a senior planning position at a large and complex operation, where you will influence both day-to-day outcomes and long-term strategy.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and develop the technical planning team,
  • Deliver quarterly through to life-of-mine plans, designs, and schedules,
  • Reconcile production performance and identify improvement opportunities,
  • Collaborate with Technical Services, Operations, and Corporate stakeholders,
  • Apply software capability (Deswik, Spry) to planning outcomes,
  • Contribute to prefeasibility studies and long-term approvals planning,
  • Uphold company values and drive a strong culture of safety and accountability.

About You

  • Tertiary qualification in Mining Engineering (or equivalent),
  • Minimum 8–10 years' open cut coal mining experience, ideally with dragline exposure,
  • Demonstrated leadership capability with direct reports,
  • Proficiency in Deswik, Spry, and other planning/scheduling tools,
  • Strong communication, analytical and problem-solving skills,
  • Resilience and adaptability in a large, high-pressure mining environment.

Why Apply?

This is an opportunity to step into a key leadership role in Technical Services at a major open cut operation. You'll lead a capable team, influence mine planning outcomes across the short to long term, and play a direct role in shaping the mine's future development.

The business offers a supportive culture, clear technical pathways, and the ability to influence both site-level and corporate decision-making.

Remuneration & Benefits

This position comes with a highly competitive salary package, including access to a fully maintained company vehicle, an outstanding performance-based bonus scheme, and comprehensive healthcare benefits. You'll also enjoy five weeks of annual leave under the Black Coal Award, providing flexibility and balance to complement a rewarding leadership career.
