About the Role

Broadmeadow Mine is a major underground coal operation near Moranbah in Queensland’s Bowen Basin. It produces high-quality hard coking coal for the global steelmaking industry and is a cornerstone asset in the region’s metallurgical coal supply.

A key point of difference is Broadmeadow’s Top Coal Caving (LTCC) longwall system—the only LTCC in Australia—enabling the recovery of thicker coal seams and improving resource extraction efficiency. Combined with established infrastructure, a strong safety culture, and a focus on continuous improvement, Broadmeadow offers a technically advanced and dynamic mining environment.

Broadmeadow also has a strong future outlook, with multiple mine extension pathways under evaluation to sustain and potentially expand production. These opportunities reinforce its long-term role in BMA’s portfolio and position the operation for continued contribution to regional employment and global steelmaking supply chains.

We are currently seeking an experienced Geology and Geotechnical Superintendent to join the Broadmeadow Mine Planning team. This role leads a multidisciplinary geology and geotechnical function of approximately 35 personnel, including employees and contractors, providing strategic leadership and technical direction across the operation. This is a full-time role with residential or FIFO options, on a Monday to Friday roster with support for flexible work arrangements.
