Senior Open Pit Mining Engineer

About Us
At Ramelius Resources, gold mining is not just what we do — it is who we are. From our early days at Wattle Dam to becoming one of Australia’s most respected gold producers, we have built our success on agility, resilience, and a commitment to operational excellence.

With a strong pipeline of projects and a focus on sustainable growth, we are investing in our assets and exploration to deliver on our vision. But what truly sets us apart is our people. We foster a culture of opportunity, respect, and shared ambition — when you grow, we grow.

Our Mount Magnet Mining (MMG) operations include multiple open pit, underground, and satellite sites with a projected 17-year mine life. The Cue open pit projects are a series of high-grade open pits producing important mill feed for the Mount Magnet processing hub. The Eridanus Pit is a previously mined pit that will soon re-commence mining as a major cut back.
