This position is available for an immediate start.
As a Graduate Operational Technology Engineer, you’ll be offered a permanent role and get the opportunity to what you’ve studied – working in the field solving real-world challenges, challenges that span and extend beyond your discipline. You will have the opportunity to gain valued experience in Operational Technology.
Operational Technology (OT) in mining encompasses specialised hardware and software systems that monitor, control, and automate equipment and processes in both open cut and underground operations. In open cut mining, OT includes autonomous haulage solutions, digital planning tools, and AI-driven systems that optimise extraction while minimising environmental impact. Underground mining OT features longwall automation with advanced sensors, deep automation systems for orchestrating loaders and trucks, and tele-remote technologies enabling operators to control multiple machines from safe control rooms. Both environments utilise OT to enhance safety by reducing human exposure to hazardous conditions, increase operational efficiency through real-time monitoring and data analysis, and improve productivity via automation of repetitive or dangerous tasks. These technologies represent the convergence of traditional industrial equipment with digital innovations, transforming mining operations through increased precision, reduced costs, and improved working conditions.
As a Graduate in this Mackay region-based role, you will have the unique opportunity to develop your skills while gaining hands-on experience across our Queensland sites. Travel will be an essential part of your learning and development, allowing you to build strong connections, understand diverse operations, and your knowledge in real-world environments. This role offers the best of both worlds—immersing yourself in dynamic site-based work while enjoying the lifestyle and community of Mackay. If you’re eager to grow, innovate, and make an impact, this is the perfect opportunity for you.
The Engineering team have a strong working relationship with the mining assets and life cycle management team. There is a strong focus on the operational technology that supports our business and delivering efficient, effective solutions.
A typical day will involve working under the guidance of an experienced team, assisting with designing, developing, supporting the installation, operations, and maintenance of operational technology systems for both open cut and underground mining operations.
As a graduate in this role, you will have the opportunity to work with leaders in their field in the following locations:
Residential Greater Mackay region, QLD
