Mine Planner careers

A Mine Planner develops extraction strategies for mineral resources. You might work in a corporate office or at a remote mine site. Mine Planners focus on creating schedules, haulage layouts, and pit designs to maximise recovery and ensure safety. You will prepare technical models and forecasts to guide production and maintain mine efficiency.

Mine Planners are essential to a mine’s commercial success. You must be analytical and able to solve complex problems using specialised software. You will liaise with geologists and engineers to ensure production targets and infrastructure goals are met.
