Job Description

CORONADO GLOBAL RESOURCES is one of the world’s largest producers of high-quality metallurgical coal. Through our market-leading technology and processes, we operate some of the safest, cleanest and lowest-cost mines in the industry. Our operations are located in two of the largest and most productive metallurgical coal basins in the world, the Bowen Basin in Queensland, Australia and the Central Appalachian region of the US, servicing customers throughout the Asia-Pacific, Americas and Europe.

Coronado has a clear growth strategy for Curragh. With an approximate 20-year life of mine remaining, we have long-term career prospects and great job stability available for our team. We ask our leaders to drive change, think differently and lead new projects and initiatives to build on the operational strength of our asset. We are a values-based organisation, and genuinely encourage diversity of opinion and thought. 

Curragh Mine, near Blackwater, is one of the largest open-cut coal mines in the Queensland Bowen Basin. Curragh produces more than 12 million tonnes of coal per year with a mining fleet which includes 4 large draglines. Coal is mined from two mining areas and washed through two plants, producing several different metallurgical products. The combination of scale, mining areas and different products makes this a challenging and satisfying place to work for any mining professional.

About the Role             

We currently have an opportunity for a Geology Superintendent to lead our team of Geology professionals to deliver timely service to enable operations departments to perform, and to capture and report adequate information to facilitate statutory compliance and informed decision making.

This key role will see you coordinating all geological activities, budgets, contractor services and plans relating to the continual improvement of the geology department.

In this role you will drive change and influence by:

• Translating business strategies, objectives and context into a geology development strategy and corresponding project pipeline to build operational efficiency, improve production outputs and increase economic returns.
• Collaborating with and providing geological information to stakeholders to assist with the design process. 
• Engaging with Curragh and Contract Operations regularly to ensure compliance to dig design and minimise coal loss / dilution.
• Leading the geology team to drive best geological practise and superior business outcomes.
• Monitoring the external environment to identify trends, opportunities, threats and leading practice and integrate these into the Geology strategy.
• Co-ordinating and providing the appropriate resources to designated task forces so that studies are completed on time, fit for purpose and according to budget and stakeholder requirements, and of high quality.
• Contributing to the establishment, development and continuous improvement of systems and practices to enable Geology’s services to be delivered more effectively and efficiently.

What You’ll Bring

We’re looking for a safety focussed, results-oriented leader with the ability to influence and build positive relationships.

Key to your success will be:

• Tertiary qualification in geology or similar. 
• Proven industry professional with extensive experience in leadership in a technical role within the resources sector
• Proven experience of team management and development, with a hands on approach.
• Demonstrated experience with complex Geology
• Superior engagement, oral and written communication skills
   

What we offer

With a short 15-minute drive to work every day and 2.5 hours from the Capricorn Coast, there are not many mine sites that can boast a quicker daily commute, or the ability to reside on the coast spending work time in company accommodation and days off on the beach. 

If your preference is to live outside of Central Queensland, the company will fund flights between Brisbane and Emerald, along with car hire to get to and from Emerald airport the mine. Not only an enviable location, Curragh offers industry competitive remuneration packages, growth opportunities and a variety of subsidised accommodation options.   

You’ll have access to excellent training and development alongside a dedicated group of people who’ll support you every step of the way. 

Join a unique workplace that allows you to get involved, share your experiences, and leave a mark in a way that isn’t possible elsewhere.    

Coronado Curragh values collaboration, taking accountability, respect for each other and striving for excellence in all that we do.  We are an inclusive employer who values and responds to innovation and we encourage and recognise employee contributions and ideas. We reward our people’s effort and performance.
