Senior Project Engineer

Date: 25 May 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 building on that foundation through a significant staged expansion.

The expansion is underway. Early works have commenced, a 5.5MW ball mill is on order, underground development of the Northwest Flats orebody is progressing, and a dedicated project team is being assembled to deliver the next phase of Liontown's growth. These are 2-year maximum term roles, created specifically for our expansion plans.

 

Why join now?

 

This is a rare chance to join a fast-moving, dedicated project team at the very beginning of a major capital programme. The expansion will progress in stages, and new workfronts will open up as the project develops — and there's genuine opportunity to move between areas as scope evolves.

You'll work across underground development, surface infrastructure, and processing plant upgrades in a single assignment. If building your site-based project delivery experience on a real, live capital programme is what drives you, this is the role.

 

What you'll be doing

 

  • Leading end-to-end delivery of complex, higher-value work packages from FID through to commissioning and operational handover
  • Designing and refining execution approaches, drawing on constructability input, lessons learned, and programme-level alignment
  • Managing contractors across the full cycle: scopes of work, tender strategy, commercial evaluation, performance oversight, and claims management
  • Developing and managing detailed schedules and cost forecasts, identifying critical path risks, and driving recovery strategies
  • Coordinating with operations, engineering, and supply chain teams to manage interfaces and ensure seamless delivery
  • Mentoring and coaching Project Engineers, building capability and a high-performing team culture
  • Providing clear, accurate project reporting to Project Managers and the broader leadership team

 

What we are looking for

 

  • Tertiary qualification in engineering — mechanical, civil, electrical, process, mining, or a related discipline (we consider a broad range of engineering backgrounds)
  • Proven experience delivering complex or higher-value capital works in mining, minerals processing, or comparable heavy industry through EPCM or direct delivery models
  • Strong contractor and commercial management capability: tender strategy, contract administration, variation management, and accountability
  • Experience on brownfields or operating sites, including managing simultaneous operations, shutdowns, and tie-in activities
  • The ability to work independently, exercise sound judgement, and constructively challenge when needed
  • A genuine interest in developing others — mentoring, technical coaching, and helping those around you grow
  • Project management certification (PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent) desirable
  • Current Australian driver's licence 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. Our operations are built on sustainability — and our culture is built on people who take ownership, look out for each other, and are proud of what they're building.

This role offers breadth across underground, surface, and processing workfronts; pace and purpose; a strong team to work alongside; and the satisfaction of delivering something that matters. Flexible roster options (8:6, 2:1, or 2:2) and competitive remuneration round out what's on offer.
