AngloGold Ashanti is a global gold mining company with a diverse, high-quality portfolio of operations, projects and exploration activities across 10 countries on four continents. We pursue value-creating opportunities involving other minerals, where we can leverage our existing assets, shareholdings, skills, and experience.

At AngloGold Ashanti, we assure you of work that carries significance and creates tangible results. What we do goes beyond mining. We build livelihoods in communities, champion environmental stewardship, and strengthen local and national economies. Our leaders and teams are committed to listening to and supporting each other, valuing differences, and embracing equity. We are convinced that greatness only happens when we prioritize these behaviors and the well-being of every person.

At AGA, we value diverse perspectives. If you’re ready to take on challenges and make an impact, we’d love to hear from you – even if you don’t meet every requirement still apply and let’s start the conversation.

We are currently seeking an Accounts Assistant to join our Business Support and Finance team at Tropicana Gold Mine. Reporting to the Mine Accountant, this position plays a key role in providing site-wide accounts support, including processing purchase requisitions, service entries, and end-of-month finance activities.

This role is offered on an 8/6 roster, with direct flights to site from Perth and/or Kalgoorlie. Flexible working arrangements will also be considered for this position.

About the Role

• Provide site-wide purchase requisition and service entry support to operational personnel.
• Monitor invoices and liaise with managers regarding payment approvals and accounts payable matters.
• Prepare accruals for services received but not yet invoiced.
• Assist with month-end tasks and journal entries.
• Complete general ledger account reconciliations.
• Provide monthly cost reports to operational personnel.
• Coordinate the timely completion of weekly and monthly reports.
• Maintain SOX control files and ensure compliance with management systems and processes.
• Undertake ad hoc tasks as directed.
• Coordinate and support the gold shipments
• Monitor and maintain site wide fuel dispensing systems

This role offers an excellent opportunity to apply your technical skills in a dynamic mining environment while contributing to the long-term integrity and performance of a world-class gold processing operation.

About You

People are at the heart of everything we do. We want you to collaborate with us, share your ideas and feel confident in challenging the status quo. You’ll bring a strong mix of technical know-how and practical experience to the team. To be considered, you should have:

• Good understanding of basic accounting practices.
• Previous experience with SAP requisitioning, service entries, and purchase order analysis is preferred.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office applications, particularly Excel and Word.
• Good verbal and written communication skills in English.
• Demonstrated attention to detail and accuracy.
• Ability to work collaboratively with other departments to achieve business goals.
• Previous mine site experience would be beneficial; however, it is not essential.
• Previous experience dealing with audits and audit preparation.
• Ability to work under pressure and meet deadlines.

Belong at AngloGold Ashanti Australia and make gold a part of your story — a story of exploring, mining, and processing one of the world’s most sought-after precious metals.

What we do goes beyond mining. We support communities in which we operate, champion environmental stewardship, and strengthen local and national economies. Come and be a part of our team — a team committed to building a better future. Be known. Be valued. Be recognised.
