About the Role
At Catalyst, you won’t just take on a role – you’ll take on a challenge. Our underground operation is technically complex and continually evolving, requiring sharp thinking, collaboration and a proactive approach to problem solving.
From remnant extraction to new mining areas coming online, the work here will stretch your capability and keep you engaged. This role sits within our Technical Services team and plays a key part in delivering safe, practical and production-aligned engineering outcomes underground.
You’ll work closely with geology, underground operations and maintenance to ensure plans are executable, risks are understood and performance is optimised. With multiple growth fronts across the mine, this is a dynamic environment where engineering decisions have a direct and visible impact.
You’ll be supported by experienced leaders who are genuinely invested in mentoring and developing their teams. We believe in building capability from within, and as our operations expand across the belt, so do the opportunities to broaden your exposure and progress your career.
Whether you’re looking to deepen your technical expertise or step into broader operational responsibilities over time, this is a genuine opportunity to grow while helping shape the future direction of the mine.
Key Responsibilities
As our Scheduling Engineer, you will be a key member of the Technical Services team, responsible for developing and maintaining monthly 3-Month Schedules (3MS) that guide underground mining activities and support the achievement of production, safety and business objectives.
Reporting to the Senior Planning Engineer, you will work closely with Underground Operations, Geology and other technical disciplines to ensure mine plans are practical, achievable and aligned with operational priorities, while driving continuous improvement across planning and scheduling processes.
This is a newly created role that offers the opportunity to directly influence production outcomes across a growing underground business. The position is offered on an 8 days on, 6 days off FIFO roster, providing a strong work-life balance while remaining closely connected to site operations and decision-making. As the operation continues to grow and mature, the role is planned to transition to an attractive 4 days on, 3 days off FIFO roster, offering even greater flexibility and lifestyle benefits, subject to operational requirements.
