Mine Planning Superintendent - Underground
Permanent Opportunity | FIFO from Perth (8/6:4/3 roster)

Based at Kathleen Valley Lithium Operations

Liontown Resources is an emerging leader in Australia's battery minerals sector. Following our recent capital raise, we are in a strong position as we transition into full production ramp-up at our flagship Kathleen Valley Lithium Operation. With a 20+-year mine life, state-of-the-art processing facilities, and a passionate team, this is a rare opportunity to join a business that is building a globally significant lithium operation.

Why now?
As we transition to steady-state operations, this is a pivotal time to join our underground technical services leadership team. You'll have the opportunity to directly influence operational performance, contribute to a high-calibre technical team, and support the growth of our Technical Services team.

The Opportunity
We're seeking an experienced Mine Planning Superintendent to lead our Underground Technical Services Planning Team at Kathleen Valley.

Reporting to the Technical Services Manager, this site-based role will oversee a team of ten engineers covering both mine planning and ventilation disciplines, working across 2 panels on an 8/6:4/3 roster. You'll play a critical role in driving the short, medium, and long-term planning function, ensuring seamless coordination between operations, technical services, and projects as Liontown continues to ramp up to steady-state production.

This position also provides leadership coverage for the Technical Services Manager when required, offering an excellent opportunity to step up and broaden your exposure at a senior level.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Lead and mentor a team of mine planning and ventilation engineers and support them with their development.
  • Oversee short, medium, and long-term mine plans aligned with operational and strategic objectives.
  • Provide guidance to ensure mine design and scheduling forecasts optimise safety, recovery, and cost performance.
  • Collaborate closely with operations, geology, and engineering teams to drive continuous improvement.
  • Maintain compliance with statutory and operational standards for underground mine design, planning and ventilation.
  • Support the Technical Services Manager with reporting, leadership coverage, and strategic planning initiatives.

What We're Looking For
You're a technically strong and people-focused leader who thrives in a fast-paced underground mining environment. You're proactive, pragmatic, and able to translate plans into actionable outcomes on site.

Your background includes:

  • Degree in Mining Engineering or equivalent.
  • Proven experience in underground mine planning and design (large scale long hole open stoping in hard-rock preferred).
  • Strong working knowledge of Deswik or equivalent planning software.
  • Demonstrated leadership of multi-disciplinary technical teams.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • Commitment to safety, continuous improvement, and operational excellence.
  • Have obtained a National Police Clearance within the last 6 months or have the ability to obtain one.
  • Able to pass a Pre-Employment medical and Drug and Alcohol screen.

Why Liontown
At Liontown, you'll be joining a company that's helping drive the clean energy future. Our operations are designed with sustainability at their core — powered by renewables and built for long-term impact.

This is your opportunity to take ownership of a pivotal technical role during a major project phase, while enjoying the stability of a long-term site based position.
