IT Infrastructure Supervisor

At Newmont, our purpose is to create value and improve lives through sustainable and responsible mining. One of the largest gold companies in the world, we pride ourselves on our dedication to safety, environmental management, inclusion and diversity, and adding value and opportunity to our host communities.

Newmont Tanami is on Aboriginal freehold land 540km northwest of Alice Springs. It is a long-life, low-cost, world-class asset in a core Newmont region. The Tanami Expansion 2 Project aims to extend the mine life beyond 2040, investing in a hoisting shaft which will increase the production of the underground mine from 2.6 Mtpa to 3.2 Mtpa.  Both the successful exploration within the underground operation and implementation of the first Tanami Expansion has laid the foundation to further develop the operation to remain a major contributor to the Newmont portfolio.

New Opportunities – Tanami’s Information Technology Team
In 2021, Newmont formed a strategic alliance with Caterpillar Inc. to deliver a fully connected automated, zero carbon emitting, end-to-end mining system.

Critical to our company’s vision for zero emissions mining, Tanami is testing and developing industry-first battery electric haulage technology for underground mining, to support the future deployment of battery autonomous technology and a battery electric zero-emissions underground fleet. 

To support our Tanami Operations as we embark on this exciting journey, we are expanding our Site Information Technology team and seeking technology professionals who are passionate about developing and implementing world-leading underground mining technology.
