  • Develop and maintain client relationships, identifying opportunities for business growth and repeat work.
  • Prepare and review high-quality technical repots, proposals, and submissions for clients, regulators, and stakeholders.
  • Lead proposal development and tender submissions, contributing to business development and market growth initiatives.
  • Mentor and develop consultants across the CMS team, supporting capability uplift and knowledge sharing.
  • Collaborate nationally with multidisciplinary teams across planning, environment, engineering, and advisory services.

Experience

To be successful in your application, we are looking for the following:

  • Tertiary qualification in Geology, Civil Engineering, Mining Engineering, Earth Sciences, Natural Resources, or a related discipline.
  • Approximately 10+ years’ experience within the quarrying, construction materials, mining, consulting, or related sectors.
  • Demonstrated experience leading multidisciplinary projects and managing client relationships.
  • Strong commercial acumen, including project financial management, proposal preparation, and business development.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively with clients, regulators, and stakeholders.
  • Proven ability to mentor and develop technical staff.
  • A strong professional network within the quarrying, construction materials, or related industries.

Experience in the following areas will be advantageous to your application:

  • Demonstrated experience working within the Victorian quarrying sector.
  • Strong knowledge of the Victorian legislative and regulatory framework governing extractive industries, including the Mineral Resources (Sustainable Development) Act (MRSDA) and associated approval processes.
  • Experience supporting Work Plans, planning permit applications, quarry approvals, resource assessments, due diligence investigations, or operational improvement initiatives.
  • Existing relationships with quarry operators, government agencies, and industry stakeholders.
  • Recognised industry profile through professional associations, technical presentations, publications, or industry leadership activities.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
