The company said it will negotiate the final contract terms on a one-year contract extension worth an estimated $200m, beginning in July 2012, and also begin negotiations on an additional three-year agreement.
John Holland will work with Isaac Plains Coal Management to finalise final contract terms and scope of work for the coal mine.
Scope of work will include clearing, topsoil stripping, drill and blast, truck excavator waste removal, coal mining, rejects haulage, dump profiling and rehabilitation works.
The coal mine is set to produce about 3.6 million ROM tonnes of coal over the next 12 months.
John Holland group managing director Glenn Palin said the award contract reflects the diversity of company skills across the energy and resources sector.
"This agreement provides an opportunity to further develop our mining skills and capabilities, which complement our broader skills in energy and resources, including our specialist engineering capabilities in ports construction and in the delivery of large-scale materials handling infrastructure," said Palin.
"Our long-term strategy is to use these skills, along with our capabilities as an operator and maintainer of major transport networks, to develop and deliver fully integrated mine operations to port services for our clients."
