Senior Project Engineer

About the Company

Liontown Limited (ASX: LTR) is one of Australia's newest and most exciting lithium producers. Our Kathleen Valley Lithium Operation in Western Australia is a world-class, tier-one asset with a 20+ year mine life — and we're now building on that foundation through a significant staged expansion.

The expansion is underway. Early works have commenced, a 5.5MW ball mill is on order, underground development of the Northwest Flats orebody is progressing, and a dedicated project team is being assembled to deliver the next phase of Liontown's growth. These are 2-year maximum term roles, created specifically for our expansion plans.

About the Role

Why join now?

This is a rare chance to join a fast-moving, dedicated project team at the very beginning of a major capital programme. The expansion will progress in stages, and new workfronts will open up as the project develops — and there's genuine opportunity to move between areas as scope evolves.

You'll work across underground development, surface infrastructure, and processing plant upgrades in a single assignment. If building your site-based project delivery experience on a real, live capital programme is what drives you, this is the role.

Key Responsibilities

• Leading end-to-end delivery of complex, higher-value work packages from FID through to commissioning and operational handover
• Designing and refining execution approaches, drawing on constructability input, lessons learned, and programme-level alignment
• Managing contractors across the full cycle: scopes of work, tender strategy, commercial evaluation, performance oversight, and claims management
• Developing and managing detailed schedules and cost forecasts, identifying critical path risks, and driving recovery strategies
• Coordinating with operations, engineering, and supply chain teams to manage interfaces and ensure seamless delivery
• Mentoring and coaching Project Engineers, building capability and a high-performing team culture
• Providing clear, accurate project reporting to Project Managers and the broader leadership team

What we are looking for

• Tertiary qualification in engineering — mechanical, civil, electrical, process, mining, or a related discipline (we consider a broad range of engineering backgrounds)
• Proven experience delivering complex or higher-value capital works in mining, minerals processing, or comparable heavy industry through EPCM or direct delivery models
• Strong contractor and commercial management capability: tender strategy, contract administration, variation management, and accountability
• Experience on brownfields or operating sites, including managing simultaneous operations, shutdowns, and tie-in activities
• The ability to work independently, exercise sound judgement, and constructively challenge when needed
• A genuine interest in developing others — mentoring, technical coaching, and helping those around you grow
• Project management certification (PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent) desirable
• Current Australian driver's licence and ability to satisfy standard WA mine site induction, ticketing, and medical requirements
