Logistics Engineer

About the role

Mventech Group is seeking an Intermediate Logistics Engineer to lead logistics workstreams on mining study projects. The role involves applying advanced simulation and modelling techniques to optimise material handling and ore transport systems for major mining clients. You will also mentor junior engineers and drive innovation within the logistics modelling team.

Key responsibilities

• Lead and coordinate the logistics workstream on mining studies across concept, pre‑feasibility and feasibility phases, ensuring scope, schedule and quality.
• Develop, calibrate and execute Discrete Event Simulation models using Simio and Mventech’s in‑house simulation tool to assess system performance, fleet requirements and production targets.
• Conduct time‑and‑motion studies and operational analyses to identify inefficiencies and optimise people, ore and material handling.
• Prepare detailed technical reports, presentations and client deliverables communicating modelling results, assumptions, sensitivities and recommendations.
• Contribute to project schedules, work breakdown structures and CAPEX/OPEX estimates for logistics‑related scopes.
• Collaborate with mining, process and infrastructure engineering teams to integrate logistics designs with overall project objectives.
• Mentor junior engineers, providing technical guidance and improving logistics modelling methods.
• Drive innovation by advancing automation, improving data accuracy and embedding data‑driven decision‑making across the team’s toolset.
• Ensure compliance with Mventech’s quality, safety and environmental standards and meet client expectations at every project phase.

Required profile

• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial or Mechanical Engineering (BSc or BEng).
• Three to five years of experience in mining studies within an engineering consulting or EPCM environment.
• Strong working knowledge of underground and surface mining operations, especially material handling and ore transport systems.

Required skills

• Discrete Event Simulation (DES)
• Simio software
• Mventech’s in‑house simulation tool
• Time‑and‑motion study techniques
• Logistics modelling and optimisation
