About Us
Polymetals (ASX: POL) acquired the Endeavor Mine in 2023 and formally took control in August 2024. Endeavor is a major underground silver/lead/zinc mine, located 40km north-west of Cobar in Central-West NSW. Since then, Polymetals has delivered an initial 10-year mine plan, and restarted operations with exceptional production results to date. It’s an exciting time for Endeavor and the Cobar region, with significant employment opportunities brought to market for the Endeavor Mine restart: one of Australia’s major base metals mines.
The Role
As the Geotechnical Engineer, you will play a critical role in ensuring the geotechnical integrity of our underground mining operations at Endeavor Mine in NSW. This is a hands-on technical position, ideal for a geotechnical professional who thrives in underground hard rock environments and is eager to contribute to the safe and productive restart of mining activities.
Reporting to the Operations Manager, your key responsibilities will include:
Cobar is a well-established mining town with shopping, education and health services and a range of recreation, social and sporting facilities. Cobar is only 3 hours' drive from the major regional city of Dubbo. Cobar is very accessible to all the Eastern States capitals with daily flights between Cobar and Sydney and is within one days’ driving distance to Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane
