Australian coal producer optimising mine operations and supply chain
Whitehaven Coal operates seaborne thermal and metallurgical coal mines across Australia, serving demand-driven markets in Asia and beyond. The tech stack reveals a heavy dependence on legacy enterprise resource planning (SAP ERP, SAP S/4HANA, Oracle Primavera) paired with industrial control systems (SCADA, PLCs), design tools (AutoCAD, Civil 3D), and planning analytics (IBM Planning Analytics, TM1). Active hiring is concentrated in engineering and operations roles, with a senior-weighted seniority mix—suggesting the company is building capability around mine optimisation, scheduling, and asset reliability rather than headcount expansion.
Whitehaven Coal is a publicly listed Australian mining company producing coal for global export, with operations focused on seaborne trade to developed and emerging economies, particularly across Asia. The company operates across thermal and metallurgical coal segments, with production and export infrastructure based in Australia. Current project work spans mine planning integration, geological modelling, mine design development over a 5-year horizon, and process standardisation—all aimed at optimising extraction economics and operational consistency. The organisation is mid-scale in headcount, organised primarily around engineering, operations, and finance functions.
SAP ERP and SAP S/4HANA for enterprise resource planning; Oracle Primavera for project scheduling; IBM Planning Analytics and TM1 for planning; AutoCAD and Civil 3D for mine design; SCADA and PLCs for plant control; Trimble and GPS for surveying.
