Job description

Xenco is a specialist provider of operational, technical and advisory services to the resources sector. We partner with mining and industrial clients to improve performance, reliability and productivity through practical, outcomes-focused solutions. Our team works closely with site operations, maintenance, engineering and project functions to deliver measurable improvements across assets and systems.


About the Opportunity


Xenco is partnering with a major mining operator to find a Water Management Specialist to join their mine planning team on a fixed-term contract. This role sits at the heart of short and medium-term planning, providing the technical judgement needed to keep water risk, dewatering strategy, and site infrastructure aligned with production targets. You'll work alongside planning engineers and site technical teams, bringing an independent, evidence-based voice to decisions that carry real operational consequences.


What You’ll Do



  • Build and maintain water balance and dewatering models that reflect real pit sequencing, rainfall patterns, and inflow conditions

  • Turn technical modelling into clear, decision-ready advice for planners and site leadership

  • Question planning assumptions whenever water risk threatens delivery, and push back where needed

  • Keep a clear record of the data, assumptions, and limitations behind every model you produce

  • Flag emerging water-related risks early, before they become safety, environmental, or production issues


What You Bring



  • A background in water management, hydrogeology, or hydrology within mining or a comparable heavy industry

  • Demonstrated proficiency in GoldSim is essential

  • Hands-on experience building dewatering scenarios and water balance models that stand up to scrutiny

  • Working knowledge of pit sequencing, ground and surface water behaviour, and site water infrastructure

  • A relevant qualification in engineering, hydrogeology, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience

  • The confidence to challenge planning decisions and communicate technical risk to a non-technical audience


Why Join Us?



  • Join a global operator known for backing its technical specialists to make real calls.

  • Take on a role where your analysis directly shapes how the mine is planned and run.

  • A fixed-term contract with a supportive roster, travel, and accommodation arranged for you.


We're after someone who takes ownership and isn't afraid to speak up when the numbers tell a different story to the plan. This role comes with a competitive day rate and the chance to put specialist water management expertise to work on a high-profile site. If you're a confident, experienced water professional looking for your next challenge.
