Construction Superintendent - SMP
Date: 25 Sept 2026
Location: Kathleen, Western Australia, Australia
Company: Liontown Resources Limited
Who are we?
Liontown Limited (ASX: LTR) is one of Australia's newest and most exciting lithium producers. Our Kathleen Valley Lithium Operation in Western Australia is a world-class, tier-one asset with a 20+ year mine life — and we're now expanding it.
Early works are underway. A 5.5MW ball mill is on order, underground development of the Northwest Flats orebody is progressing, and we're building the dedicated project team that will deliver the next phase of growth. This is an 18-month maximum term role, created specifically for our expansion plans. The role will ideally be offered on a 2:1 roster and is FIFO from Perth to Kathleen Valley.
Why join now?
The expansion will progress in stages, and new workfronts will open up as the project develops. That means real opportunity to move between areas — gaining hands-on experience across underground development, surface infrastructure, and processing plant upgrades within a single assignment.
If you want to accelerate your site-based project delivery experience on a live capital programme, working alongside experienced Construction Managers and Project Managers who are invested in developing the team around them, this is the opportunity.
What you’ll be doing
Reporting to the Construction Manager and/ or Project Manager, the Superintendent – SMP is responsible for coordination of all Project construction activity at the Project site. This includes but is not limited to:
- Safety, Health & Environment – assisting the Construction Manager in ensuring HSE Advisors, discipline site coordinators and sub-contractors meet their obligations under Liontown's HSE procedures, including pre-start hazard analyses, risk assessments, and participation in the project safety programme, inspections and audits
- Construction - coordinating with construction contractor supervisors to keep work safe and on schedule, understanding critical path activities and proactively mitigating delays. Ensuring contractors understand site conditions, including the Authority to Mobilise process, laydown areas and security measures, and providing input into daily, weekly and monthly project reports
- Quality - ensuring compliance with the Quality Management Plan (QMP), supporting the flow of drawings and specifications to contractors and the site team, and coordinating site walkdowns and construction meetings.
- Schedule - monitoring the construction schedule and contractor resourcing, attending weekly progress and interfacing meetings.
What we are looking for
- Tier-1 or Tier-2 main contractor experience, supporting client-side construction projects, at Supervisor or Superintendent level.
- Multi-discipline project experience, preferably in Mining Process Plant upgrades or expansions.
- Engineering or trade qualification in structural, mechanical and piping (SMP) or electrical and instrumentation (E&I).
- A sound understanding of health and safety legislation and HSE management systems.
- Current Australian manual driver's licence, White Card, and ability to satisfy standard WA mine site induction, ticketing and medical requirements.
Why Liontown
At Liontown, you'll join a team that's helping power the clean energy future — and a culture built on people who take ownership, back each other, and care about what they're building.
This role offers something genuinely valuable for your career: breadth across multiple workfronts, mentoring from experienced project engineers and managers, and the hands-on site experience that's hard to replicate elsewhere. This role will ideally be offered on a 2:1 basis, but flexible roster options can be discussed (8:6, 2:1, or 2:2) and competitive remuneration reflect how much we value the people who make the work happen.
