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.
