Shape the Future of Mining Operations
Join a newly established, technically advanced operations hub at Europe's largest zinc mine — where your expertise will directly influence production success, operational efficiency, and innovation in mining control systems.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This is not a remote outpost — you'll work just 40 minutes from Dublin in a location known for its excellent work-life balance. Backed by a globally respected mining group, you'll gain exposure to cutting-edge mining technology, structured career development, and international mobility opportunities across Europe. Stability is assured, with significant investment in people, systems, and training.
Benefits
* Relocation support, including flights
* Comprehensive training, including 2 days every 5 weeks underground
* Access to career development programs and international assignments (e.g., Sweden, Finland, Portugal)
* Structured shift rotation with built-in training days and work-life balance focus
What You'll Be Doing
* Oversee mine production schedules from a central operations control hub
* Coordinate with shift bosses and underground crews to keep targets on track
* Analyse data, identify operational bottlenecks, and implement improvements
* Complete regular underground familiarisation shifts to maintain operational awareness
What You'll Bring
* Degree in Mining Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, or similar technical discipline
* Experience in mine operations, scheduling, or production control (graduates with strong technical aptitude considered)
* Clear, confident communication skills to liaise effectively with operational teams
* Problem-solving ability to adapt quickly when schedules change
Who This Suits
You're a technically minded professional who thrives on translating plans into results. You're comfortable in a fast-moving operational environment, can communicate with people at all levels, and want to build a career in an internationally connected mining business.
