Job Description

Senior Mining Engineering Consultant

• Location: Centurion (with national & international travel)
• Experience: 5–15 years
• Appointment: Permanent
• Package: Market-related
• Start: ASAP

If you're the kind of mining engineer who solves the problems others don't want to touch, keep reading.

Some roles ask you to support the team.

This one asks you to shape the direction of entire operations

You wont be stuck in one commodity, one mine, or one routine.

You'll work on high-impact, technically complex projects across open pit and underground operations, from studies to strategy to on-site optimisation, influencing decisions that directly drive production, cost, and long-term value.

If variety, technical depth and real impact motivate you, this is the kind of consulting environment where your expertise wont just be used

It will be noticed, trusted and relied on

What You'll Take Ownership Of

Your role spans strategic studies, operational improvement, design, scheduling and client advisory work:

Technical Excellence

• End-to-end mine planning (STP, MTP, LOM)
• Scoping, PFS & BFS mining studies
• Pit/stope optimisation, mine design & scheduling
• Block modelling, re-blocking & geological integration
• Equipment selection, fleet optimisation & cost modelling
• Inputs for financial modelling and investment decisions
• Due diligence, audits, mining rights & prospecting applications

Operational & Advisory Exposure

• On-site support, contractor management & readiness planning
• Productivity and equipment usage improvement
• Trade-off analysis and scenario modelling
• Leading multidisciplinary projects and facilitating workshops
• Developing methodologies, toolkits and service offerings

Leadership & Growth

• Mentoring junior engineers and planners
• Representing the business professionally with clients
• Taking ownership of deliverables, outcomes and innovation

This is a role for someone who enjoys thinking at both 30,000 ft and 3 ft off the ground.

Requirements

• BEng Mining Engineering
• 5–15 years relevant mining experience
• Consulting exposure ideal
• Strong proficiency in mine planning software (Deswik, Surpac, MineRP, etc.)
• Comfort navigating both study environments and operational sites
• A mindset built on initiative, structure, accountability and commercial awareness
• The ability to communicate complex technical work clearly and confidently
• A natural inclination to challenge assumptions and improve systems

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

You wont be a cog in a massive corporate machine.

You'll be part of a specialist consulting environment where:

• Your technical opinion actually matters
• You work across multiple commodities, sites and continents
• No two projects look the same
• You are surrounded by smart, driven professionals
• Your career is shaped by exposure, challenge and continuous development

If you enjoy solving high-level technical problems and want the freedom to do meaningful work with real commercial impact, this role is built for you.
