Build the Future of Underground Lithium Mining

As we accelerate toward full-scale underground production at Kathleen Valley, we're expanding our Underground Production team with new permanent Production Engineering roles to support this next phase.

Following our recent capital raise, we're in a strong financial position to drive our production agenda forward. With a fourth long-hole drill rig arriving shortly, underground activities are forging ahead and our transition from development to full stoping production is well underway.

Reporting to a Senior Production Engineer, you'll support the safe and efficient delivery of our underground mine plan while helping us set the standard for what "great" looks like in underground lithium mining.

  • Support the ramp-up of stoping activities (commencing Q4 FY2025)
  • Collaborate with technical and operational teams to continuously improve performance
  • Contribute to operational readiness activities for upcoming infrastructure and production changes

Why join us

  • Be part of the core team ramping up underground lithium production
  • Secure a permanent role in a company with a long-term future
  • Join a growth-focused mining company that's financially backed and delivering on its plan
  • Work on a modern, technology-enabled site that's redefining mining in Australia
  • Help shape a new standard in underground technical excellence
  • Incentive plan including cash and/or share bonuses

About you

  • Degree in Mining Engineering or equivalent underground operational experience
  • 2-5 years in underground production engineering roles
  • Experience in drill & blast design essential (Deswik preferred)
  • Backfill experience highly regarded (our paste plant is coming online soon)
  • Understanding of Australian mining practices and safety standards
  • Confident communicator, collaborator, and problem-solverAbility to obtain a National Police Clearance and pass a pre-employment medical and D&A screen
