About the role

As we ramp up the underground production run rates, we are looking to grow our underground Technical Services team. We’re on the lookout for Production Engineers who are hungry to be part of something new. This is your opportunity to shape what great looks like from the ground up.

These roles are permanent opportunities based at our Kathleen Valley Lithium Operation on an 8/6 FIFO roster from Perth.

With our plant now fully commissioned, we have successfully transitioned into production and are six months into operations with a 20+ year mine life. Our Open Pit continues to operate through 2025 and at current rates is on track to be completed early in 2026. Meanwhile, our underground operations continue with decline and level development in line with plan. The team onsite remain on track to commence underground stoping in early production Q4 FY2025.

Why join us

• Permanent role in a high-growth mining company

• Work with a passionate and collaborative team where cultural fit is everything
• Opportunity to grow into more senior roles as our operations expand
