Mine Deputy

This is an excellent career opportunity to join the site leadership of a unique coal mining operation in regional Tasmania. The Cornwall Coal Company operates underground and open cut coal mines and a coal processing plant in North Eastern Tasmania (Fingal). Fingal is ~1.5 hours from Launceston and ~20-35 minutes from the beautiful coastal towns of St. Marys and Scamander.
Cornwall Coal produce approximately 400,000 tonnes of coal each year, supplying the Cement Australia Railton operation and the majority of Tasmania's general coal requirements. Employing over 70 people, Cornwall Coal represents one of the major industries in the region and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cement Australia (CA).
