SSH Mining is seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead the mobilisation, site establishment and operational-readiness phase of a new mining project in the Leonora region.

The initial contract is approximately three months, with a strong likelihood of extension as the project transitions into mining operations. For the right candidate with suitable mining and maintenance experience, there may be an opportunity to continue into the ongoing operational Project Manager role.

The Role
This is a practical, hands-on delivery role responsible for coordinating multiple work fronts across civil works, processing infrastructure, site facilities and operational readiness.

Key responsibilities include:

• Lead project mobilisation and site establishment through to commissioning and handover.
• Coordinate civil works including roads, drainage, clearing and grubbing, bulk earthworks, pads and haulage infrastructure.
• Manage site access and internal haul-road upgrades for heavy mining and construction equipment.
• Coordinate utilities, site services and supporting infrastructure.
• Oversee establishment of workshops, offices, laydown areas and other site facilities.
• Coordinate heap leach pads, associated civil works and processing infrastructure.
• Manage delivery and establishment of primary crushing circuits and other long-lead processing components.
• Coordinate contractors and concurrent work fronts across civil, mechanical, infrastructure and processing activities.
• Manage project schedule, budget, procurement, cost control, risks and key interfaces.
• Ensure works meet approved designs, project standards and HSE requirements.
• Coordinate commissioning, operational readiness and transition into mining operations
