About the role

Bring your leadership experience to a role where you can develop people, work across mining operations and help make safer work a practical reality.

An opportunity exists for an experienced Health and Safety Superintendent to join our team based at the Roy Hill mine.

This is an opportunity for an experienced health and safety leader who wants to be close to the work and have an impact beyond their own team.
