We understand that flexible work means something different to everyone and encourage you to have a conversation about the flexible work options available.

About the Role

This isn’t a role for someone who wants to maintain the status quo. It’s for the builder, the fixer, the strategist. The kind of person who sees a legacy system and thinks, “Let’s make this better.”

Cowal is in the middle of a major growth phase. We’re expanding our open pit operations, integrating underground mining, and maintaining a high throughput processing facility. That means more people, more complexity, and a bigger need for smart, scalable training systems. You’ll be at the centre of it all.

Reporting to the Superintendent – Safety, Health & Training, you’ll lead a small, capable team and take full ownership of our training ecosystem. You’ll tear down what’s outdated and architect something smarter, sharper, and future ready. Your top priorities will be rebuilding the Training Needs Analysis (TNA), lifting compliance, and designing a 12-month training plan that supports our growth and commitment to operational excellence.

Here’s what makes this role different:

• Design from scratch: rebuild our Training Needs Analysis and competency frameworks.
• Solve real problems: bring structure and clarity to areas like processing, where operators are at varying stages of development and each circuit presents its own unique training requirements.
• Shape culture: your work will directly impact how people learn, grow, and succeed on site.

If you’re tired of being boxed in by rigid systems, underfunded programs, or leadership that doesn’t listen, this is your chance to lead with purpose and be backed to deliver.

About You

You’re not just experienced, you’re inventive. You’ve worked in mining or heavy industry, led training initiatives, and know how to turn chaos into clarity. You’re the kind of person who asks “why?” and then builds the “how.” You see systems not just for what they are, but for what they could be.

You’ve probably spent time in roles where your ideas were shelved, your budget was squeezed, and your impact was limited. You’re ready for more! More autonomy. More complexity. More opportunity to lead something meaningful. You want to be trusted to make decisions, backed to deliver, and supported to grow.

You hold a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAE40116 or successor), and ideally a tertiary qualification in a training-related discipline. But what really sets you apart is your mindset: curious, strategic, and relentlessly solutions-focused.

You’ll thrive here if:

• You’ve got a knack for systems thinking: you enjoy untangling legacy frameworks and designing smarter, more intuitive solutions.
• You’re hands-on and strategic: comfortable running training days, mentoring a team, and mapping out long-term plans.
• You’re motivated by impact: you want your work to matter, to be visible, and to drive real change.
• You’ve worked in processing or open pit operations, and understand the realities of site-based training.
• You’re ready to move on from roles where your ideas go unheard, your budget is a battle, or your growth is stalled.

At Cowal, you’ll be given the space to lead, the tools to build, and the support to succeed.

If you’re ready to do your best work, this is the place.
