Specialist recruitment for mining
LH PARTNERS
Mining is at the heart of what we do. Lewis brings five years of hands-on experience working in mines across New Zealand and Australia, giving him an authentic understanding of site operations, production pressures, and the importance of safety and culture.
We specialise in recruiting mining professionals, from engineers and geologists to managers, executives and technical specialists, who keep operations running safely and efficiently. More than simply filling roles, we partner with clients to headhunt niche talent, advise on recruitment processes, and provide market insights that help you stay competitive.

Proven Mining Recruitment Results
Targeted Headhunting
Successfully sourced and hired an Underground Manager with a highly niche background in just 7 days, getting them on site within 10 days to lead operations and deliver on a critical plan to bring a mine online.
Supporting Growth
Partnered with a start-up consultancy to hire their very first staff, providing end-to-end support across recruitment, marketing, networking, and industry insights to help them establish their brand and attract top talent.
Building Teams
Helped a rapidly expanding mining operator scale their planning function, recruiting a Planning Engineer and Senior Planning Engineer to enable continued growth and support the launch of new underground sites.
Where We Operate
LH Partner’s mining recruitment work is active across Australia, from the super mines in WA to the mining fields in Queensland, through to Tasmania, Victoria, Northern Territory, South Australia, and New South Wales. Our work connects skilled people with some of the country's most influential mining operators and contractors nationally – wherever the work is.
Recruitment with us starts with a real conversation. We want to understand your site, your crews, your operation, and what a strong hire actually looks like on the ground for you. From there we work the network, screen hard, and only put forward people we'd back ourselves. Once someone's placed, we stay close by checking in with you and the candidate through the first roster and beyond, because the only placement worth making is one that holds.
