Our Mining & Metals group is a leader in future-led end to end mining solutions and delivery of services to our clients. We specialise in delivering comprehensive and tailored solutions for the mining industry. Our team manages and executes large-scale capital projects, ensuring they are completed on time, within budget, and to the highest standards of quality and safety and leave a lasting positive legacy in the communities we engage with.

What you’ll do:

We’re looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead multidisciplinary project teams across our Mining & Metals portfolio. With much of our current and upcoming work focused on front-end project development, you’ll initially play a key role leading mining studies and components of larger studies, from early concept and scoping through to pre-feasibility and feasibility.

This is a hands-on project leadership role. You’ll work closely with clients, technical leads and engineering disciplines to establish the direction of each study, guide the team through delivery and bring together the technical, commercial and project requirements needed to achieve successful outcomes.

• Lead the planning and delivery of mining projects and studies, including concept, scoping, pre-feasibility and feasibility studies, ensuring work is delivered safely, on schedule and within budget.

• Take a hands-on role leading study teams, setting clear priorities, guiding multidisciplinary disciplines and driving the team towards key deliverables and decisions.

• Establish and manage project and study scope, schedules, budgets, resourcing plans and governance requirements, maintaining a strong focus on commercial performance and client outcomes.

• Coordinate multidisciplinary engineering, technical and project delivery teams, ensuring inputs are integrated and aligned with the overall project objectives.

• Act as the primary point of contact for clients, building trusted relationships and providing clear direction and advice on progress, risks, opportunities and key decisions.

• Facilitate project workshops, risk reviews, value engineering sessions and stakeholder engagement activities to challenge thinking, resolve issues and drive study outcomes.

• Manage project controls including change management, forecasting, risk management, reporting and financial performance.

• Lead project governance activities including stage-gate reviews, executive reporting, technical reviews and quality assurance processes.

About you:

• Proven experience as a Project Manager leading multidisciplinary engineering projects, ideally within the mining and resources sector. 

• Experience leading studies or front-end project development from concept through to feasibility would be highly regarded. 

• A hands-on leadership style, with the ability to provide direction, guide technical teams, challenge assumptions and maintain momentum across multidisciplinary workstreams. 

• Strong understanding of project management principles and the ability to manage scope, budget, schedule, risk, quality and stakeholder requirements. 

• Well-developed commercial acumen, including project forecasting, change management, risk management and financial performance. 

• Strong client relationship and stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to lead conversations, influence outcomes and build long-term partnerships. 

• Background in mining, minerals processing, infrastructure or sustaining capital projects, gained within consulting, owner-side or EPCM environments. 

• Excellent communication, leadership and facilitation skills, with the ability to navigate competing priorities and drive alignment across technical teams. 

• Degree qualification in Engineering, Project Management or a related discipline.

Why WSP?

You’ll join a team delivering projects and studies across commodities, processing plants, materials handling systems, infrastructure and sustaining capital programs. While our current pipeline has a strong focus on studies and front-end project development, this is a Project Manager opportunity with the potential to work across different phases of the project lifecycle as our portfolio continues to evolve.

With access to major mining clients and technically complex work, you’ll have the opportunity to lead multidisciplinary teams, influence projects from their earliest stages and help shape solutions that move from concept towards delivery.
