We’re a great Australian success story, having rapidly grown to be a major player in the global lithium market. Our Pilgangoora Project is one of the largest, hard-rock lithium operations in the world.
THE OPPORTUNITY
As part of the implementation of our new Fleet Management System (FMS), we are currently looking for two motivated Mine Control Supervisorsto join our Technology Operation Team.
Initially reporting to the Superintendent Technology Operation, the Mine Control Supervisorswill oversee implementation of a new Fleet Management System.
Once operational, the roles will then form part of the Mining Production Department and be responsible for the Supervision of a team of five Mine Controllers, as well as managing the Fleet Management System and relevant data on a day-to-day basis.
The aim is to bring these positions in early for familiarisation with the site, its operations, and the mining production teams - providing opportunity to help build the system they will maintain and operate and allow time for the creation of the operational processes - before the FMS system is ready to operate.
These exciting new opportunities will essentially begin as a ‘blank canvas’, allowing the successful candidates the ability to build their team from scratch, then develop and implement a new system and control room on a site that hasn’t had an FMS before.

- FMS Operation: Monitor and operate the Fleet Management System to track, control, and optimize the movement of equipment, vehicles, and personnel in the mine.
- Supervision: Provide leadership and supervision to a team of FMS operators and Mine Control personnel, ensuring efficient coordination and communication.
- Safety Compliance: Ensure strict adherence to safety regulations and procedures to minimize accidents and hazards related to equipment operation and movement within the mine.
- Data Analysis: Collect and analyse data from the FMS to make informed decisions on equipment assignments, maintenance schedules, and routing.
- Efficiency Improvement: Continuously work on enhancing the efficiency and productivity of mine operations by optimizing vehicle and equipment routes, reducing idle time, and minimizing fuel consumption.
- Communication: Maintain clear and effective communication with mine staff, equipment operators, and other stakeholders to coordinate the movement of equipment and ensure smooth operation.
- Troubleshooting: Address and resolve any technical issues related to the FMS system promptly, collaborating with IT or technical support as needed.
- Training: Conduct training sessions and provide guidance to FMS operators and other mine personnel to ensure they understand and operate the system effectively.
