Job description

Job description:

Who we are

We’re a bold team with a bright future; and we’re looking for people who want to be part of it.

Evolution Mining is a premier global gold company

operating six mines across Australia and Canada. We’re transforming mines and uplifting careers. We’ve extended the mine life of our Ernest Henry Operations to 2040 and doubled its ore reserves. We took our Cowal Gold Operations underground in just seven years. We’re transforming our Red Lake Operations, restoring it as a premier Canadian gold mine. That kind of ambition creates careers, not just jobs.

When we asked our people what they enjoy most about working at Evolution, two things came up across every site: career growth and the quality of the people. Here, you’ll work alongside people who care, who push one another to be better, with leaders who are there to support you.

What’s the opportunity?

We are seeking a motivated Mine Geologist (Open Pit) to join our Geology team at Mungari Operations.

This role plays an important part in ensuring the effective collection, interpretation and communication of geological data to support safe, efficient and value-driven ore extraction across our open pit operations. Working closely with Mining, Technical Services and contractor partners, you'll contribute directly to orebody knowledge, grade control performance and the successful delivery of the mine plan.

As a hands-on operational geologist, you'll spend time in the field and pit environment, applying strong geological practices to support mining decisions and maximise the value of our mineral resources.

Key responsibilities include:

• Geological mapping, sampling and blast hole sampling activities.
• Supporting grade control processes through ore spotting and ore mark-ups.
• Supervising grade control and resource development drilling programs while maintaining QAQC standards.
• Logging geological data and contributing to the continuous improvement of orebody understanding.
• Monitoring ROM stockpiles, ore movements and reconciliation activities.
• Maintaining production and geological data to support reporting and operational decision making.
• Assisting with geological drilling program design and execution.
• Supporting the development and maintenance of geological and grade control models.
• Providing coaching and guidance to graduate geologists and site personnel where required.
• Working collaboratively with mining, planning and geology teams to optimise operational outcome

Why Mungari Operations?

Mungari is a cornerstone asset in our portfolio, with a mine life to at least 2038. It’s operationally diverse, with opportunities to work on the surface or underground and a great team of people who care. Our recent expansion of the processing plant has more than doubled processing capacity from 2 million to 4.2 million tonnes per year. With open pit and processing all on one site, the operational diversity is ideal for uplifting careers.

What suits your lifestyle best? Choose FIFO from Perth and enjoy a structured 8:6 roster working 12-hour days or relocate to Kalgoorlie and become part of a thriving mining community. Relocation support within Australia is available for the right candidate.

What we offer you

We support, develop and reward you to ensure you have a bright future. Here’s how we back that up:

• An attractive roster that supports work-life balance (8:6)
• Quarterly performance bonuses
• Employee share scheme – have a real stake in the company's success
• Competitive live-local incentives and allowances
• Relocation support (where applicable)
• Salary packaging opportunities
• Life insurance and income protection
• Attractive parental leave benefits (18 weeks)
• Recognition program

• Referral bonuses
• Discounted health insurance

Does this sound like you?

You are a safety-focused geologist who enjoys working in a dynamic operational environment and building effective relationships across multidisciplinary teams. You communicate well, take ownership of your work and are committed to achieving high-quality outcomes.

To be successful in this role, you will bring:

• Tertiary qualifications in Geology, Geoscience or a related discipline.
• Approximately 2-3 years' experience in mine geology and grade control practices.
• A sound understanding of geology work standards and industry best practice.
• Knowledge of relevant mining legislation, including the Mines Safety and Inspection Act and Regulations.
• Experience supporting drilling programs and grade control activities.
• Intermediate proficiency with geological modelling software such as Datamine, Leapfrog or similar.
• Experience using geological database systems such as acQuire or similar.
• Strong communication, problem-solving and organisational skills.
• The ability to work effectively both independently and within a team.
• Contractor management and mine planning exposure will be highly regarded.
