Multi-commodity mining operator managing 22 active sites across Australia
Glencore Australia operates 22 active mines producing coal, copper, zinc, nickel, and cobalt across four Australian states, employing over 17,000 people directly and via contractors. The tech stack is operationally mature—SAP, Oracle EBS, Workday, Yokogawa DCS, ServiceNow—reflecting a large-scale, regulated industrial business. Current hiring velocity is accelerating heavily (152 roles posted in 30 days), concentrated in engineering (104 open) and operations (87 open), alongside active work on asset reliability, safety compliance, and cost control—typical pain points for distributed mining operations managing equipment downtime and regulatory constraints.
