You will play a pivotal role in upholding these Values and contributing to our collective success.

We have an enticing residential Engineering Superintendent position at the world class KCGM Operation, one of the largest milling complexes in Australia with a mine life beyond 10 years. This is a rare moment to join. Our A$1.5 billion Mill Expansion has more than doubled capacity from 13 to 27 Mtpa and is now in commissioning, with a new primary crusher, a 5.8 MW SAG mill and a pebble crusher circuit coming to life ahead of tie in to the expanded plant. It is an exciting time to be involved. Join our esteemed technical team on the convenience of a 5/2, 4/3 (10 hour days) roster.

Reporting to the Asset Health and Engineering manager, you are the technical authority for the fixed plant: its structural and mechanical integrity, the engineering standards and governance that set how the plant is designed and modified, and the management of change that keeps every alteration controlled. You own obsolescence and lifecycle planning, equipment standardisation and specification, and the configuration documentation that keeps drawings true to the installed plant.

Deliver the fixed plant capital program from scope and engineering through to approvals and own the classified plant register and its statutory inspection compliance. With the expanded plant in commissioning and tie in, you will embed the standards, configuration control and integrity baselines that a new circuit needs from day one.

Lead and develop the engineering team: build capability and succession for the critical roles, set and cascade clear objectives and performance measures so each person knows what they own and how it is measured, manage performance with timely feedback, and grow a culture aligned to the KCGM vision and our STARR values.
