My client is a highly productive mid-tier mining house that owns and operates several well-established base and precious metal mining operations in AU. With recent acquisitions and a promising pipeline of future projects in the metalliferous scene, my client is going from strength to strength. An exciting time to join and be part of the organisation!
The Opportunity
They are looking to appoint a Compliance Manager at their flagship underground copper mine in Central NSW. The mining operation itself has 8 - 10 years of mine life and a number of projects in the pipeline to further extend. It is predominantly sub-level open stope mining, with cemented paste fill.
This is a newly created Statutory Manager position (Mining Engineering Manager, UG Hardrock NSW) and it will go back-to-back on the 8/6 roster with the Mine Manager (who also has their Stat Manager ticket).
The Compliance Manager does not have any direct reports, although they will have an Administration Officer to support them. It is not a production/operations management position (that is the role of the GM and Mine Manager on site). It is purely focused on the statutory compliance and regulatory requirements of the mining operation.

- Communicate effectively and maintain strong relationships with the regulator/regulatory body,
- Create, implement, and oversee a compliance framework and measures to ensure effective outcomes in accordance with applicable legislation,
- Conduct periodic audits and assessments to identify and address compliance risks,
- Utilise your Administrator for all tasks and assignments so that you’re efficient with your time and workload.
Requirements
- Must possess the Mining Engineering Manager (Stat Manager) Certificate of Competency for UG Hardrock NSW,
- 10+ years’ experience in underground hardrock operations,
- A Tech Services/Mining Engineering background would be held in high regard (due to current projects on the pipeline),
- Experience liaising with regulatory authorities,
- Must live/work/reside in AU. Must have full working AU rights.
