• Work within multidisciplinary teams (geology, geotechnical, resource, environmental) to deliver integrated client outcomes.
• Assist in preparing clear, well-structured technical reports that stand up to peer review.
• Support graduate engineers by sharing knowledge and day-to-day guidance.

Our successful candidate will have:

• Working proficiency in mine design and scheduling software.
• Exposure to pit optimisation, production scheduling and life-of-mine planning.

• The ability to prepare high-quality technical reports in English.
• The ability to work within diverse, multidisciplinary teams, and increasingly independently on familiar tasks.
• Membership of AusIMM, or working toward it. Willingness to work towards Chartered Professional status and RPEQ registration, as these are development goals we will actively support as your experience builds.

• A competitive remuneration package
• Share ownership. SRK is 100% employee owned, with the opportunity to purchase shares at both local and global level
