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 are seeking an experienced Senior Control Systems Engineer to join our Brisbane Mining team on an initial 12 month contract, to play a key role in the design, development, commissioning and support of industrial control systems across a diverse portfolio of mining and resources projects.

This is a senior, hands-on engineering position suited to someone who enjoys taking ownership of control system solutions from concept and detailed design through to implementation and commissioning.

You’ll work as part of a collaborative, multidisciplinary engineering team supporting projects across the mining lifecycle, with exposure to brownfield upgrades, sustaining capital and project delivery environments across a range of commodities.

  • Design, develop and implement PLC, SCADA and HMI control systems.
  • Develop control philosophies, functional descriptions, I/O lists, network architectures and technical documentation.
  • PLC and HMI/SCADA programming, configuration and testing.
  • Lead or support FAT, SAT and site commissioning activities.
  • Troubleshoot complex control, instrumentation, communications and automation issues.
  • Review engineering designs and provide technical guidance to project teams and junior engineers.
  • Coordinate with electrical, instrumentation, process, mechanical and project engineering disciplines.
  • Engage with clients, suppliers and contractors to deliver practical and reliable engineering solutions.
  • Ensure designs comply with relevant engineering standards, project specifications and safety requirements.
  • Support estimation, planning and delivery of control system work packages.

About you:

  • Degree in Electrical, Electronic, Mechatronic, Control Systems Engineering or a related discipline.
  • Strong professional experience in industrial automation and control systems.
  • Demonstrated PLC and SCADA/HMI engineering capability.
  • Experience with industrial communications and networked control systems.
  • Strong troubleshooting and commissioning skills.
  • Ability to interpret electrical drawings, P&IDs, control philosophies and functional specifications.
  • Strong documentation and technical communication skills.
  • Experience with platforms such as Rockwell Automation / Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Schneider Electric, Honeywell, Emerson or ABB would be advantageous.

Why WSP?

  • Variety of work across mining and resources projects, clients and commodities.
  • End-to-end project exposure, from studies and detailed design through to commissioning and operational support.
  • The opportunity to own control system solutions and influence key technical decisions.
  • Close collaboration with electrical, instrumentation, process, mechanical and project engineering specialists.
  • Exposure to complex brownfield and operational environments, where practical and reliable engineering solutions make a real difference.
  • The opportunity to mentor and provide technical guidance to developing engineers while remaining hands-on technically.
  • Be part of a well-established and supportive local team, with flexible working arrangements and strong focus on wellbeing

If you’re looking for a role that combines hands-on control systems engineering with technical leadership and project variety, this is an opportunity to take on a senior position where you can genuinely influence how solutions are developed and delivered.

You’ll have the opportunity to work with experienced engineers across multiple disciplines while building your profile as a senior technical specialist within our Mining business.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
