Northcutt Mining Consultants, a division of Northcutt Services Pty Ltd, offers mining businesses innovative and cost effective solutions to mine planning and operational challenges. The scope of the consultancy includes provision of mine planning consulting services, operational optimisation support, training and mentoring of Mine Planning personnel, and surveying and environmental services, on or off mine sites.Of late, mining costs have gone through the roof and the need to cut costs cannot be overemphasised. So why employ when you can outsource Mining Engineers. Offsite Engineers are the solution to avoiding additional costs associated with engaging full time Engineers. Our Engineers are just off your site but will provide the same crucial services as if onsite. We provide individually tailored Mining Engineering services from our offices and only come to site when required.The shortage of Mining Engineering services during hiring, leave breaks or for special projects disrupts Technical Services departments’ service provision, as well as the mine’s operational efficiency. Our team of experienced Mining Engineers and allied Technical Services personnel are available for Relief Mining Engineering coverage onsite. Onsite is anywhere you work from, at the mine or at your head office. The Engineers are available for both short, medium and long term mine planning work.Northcutt Mining Consultants (a division of Northcutt Services Pty Ltd) is a locally owned business, based in Blackwater, Queensland.
