Job description

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 took our Cowal Gold Operations underground in just seven years. We've extended the mine life of our Ernest Henry Operations to 2040 and doubled its ore reserves. 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?

This is an opportunity to build your geological career at an operation where your work directly influences resource growth, mine planning and the long-term future of the business. As our Geologist - Resource Definition, you'll help uncover and define the next stages of Cowal's mineral resource through near mine exploration, resource definition drilling, geological interpretation and data management.

Working an 8:6 residential roster with 12 hour day shifts, you'll enjoy the balance of extended time at home while remaining connected to a major mining operation.

  • Maintain robust geological databases, sampling records and QAQC processes to ensure confidence in resource data.
  • Collaborate with geology, technical services and drilling partners to improve geological understanding across the operation.
  • Support the development and refinement of 3D geological models that inform operational and strategic decisions.
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives that enhance geological processes and outcomes.

Today, you can work on the surface or underground. With open pit and processing all on one site, the operational diversity is ideal for uplifting careers. Live nearby and enjoy the regional lifestyle and close-knit communities. The future here is bright; you could be part of it.
