Are you skilled in process and production planning, with a proven track record in scheduling and operational coordination?

Can you build strong relationships, stay engaged through challenges, and take pride in achieving shared success?

The Production Planner is responsible for developing weekly and daily production plans, monitoring performance against these plans, and reporting on plan conformance.

The Company

BCI Minerals Limited (ASX:BCI) is an Australian owned mineral resources company with salt and potash as its initial focus. A future Tier One project, Mardie has been designed to produce 5.35Mtpa of high-purity salt and 140ktpa of Sulphate of Potash (SOP).

Using an inexhaustible seawater resource and 99% of the energy required produced by natural solar and wind energy, our Mardie project is a multi-generational sustainable opportunity that will supply the growing chemical, renewable energy, and agricultural industries with Salt and Sulphate of Potash for generations to come.

BCI Minerals are committed to establishing a safe, respectful, and inclusive workplace. We believe that individual differences, perspectives, and experiences make us even better at the work we do and should be recognised, respected, and valued.
