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?

Play a critical role in one of the most important areas of our processing operation. As a Gold Room Operator, you’ll be responsible for safely operating and maintaining the final stage of the gold production process, ensuring the secure handling and processing of our gold product from electrowinning through to dore pouring and shipment.

Working a family friendly 5:2/4:3 roster with 10 hour day shifts, you’ll enjoy a great balance between work and life while contributing to the performance of one of Australia’s premier gold operations. This is a unique opportunity to become a specialist within the processing team and play a direct role in the delivery of Cowal’s production outcomes.

Based at our Cowal Operations and reporting to the Day Services Supervisor, you’ll:

• Safely operate and maintain gold room processes from electrowinning through to dore production and shipment.
• Maintain the highest standards of operational security, compliance, and asset stewardship within the gold room environment.
• Contribute to reliable plant performance through effective monitoring, reporting, and response to equipment or process deviations.
• Support a culture of safety, continuous improvement, and operational excellence across the processing team.
• Assist with reagent handling, tailings facility inspections, RO plant operation, and other processing support activities as required.
• Help maintain a clean, organised, and high performing workplace while supporting the training and development of others

Why Cowal Gold Operations?

At Cowal, our never-say-never attitude has led to mine life extension to 2042 as we have boldly reimagined our future. We took our operations there underground in just seven years. 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.

What we offer you

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

• Relocation support
• Salary packaging (e.g. novated car leasing, remote area housing)
• Life insurance and income protection
• Quarterly performance bonuses
• Employee share scheme - have a real stake in the company’s success
• Attractive parental leave benefits (18 weeks)
• Recognition program
• Study assistance
• Discounted health insurance
• Discounted gym membership
• Attractive rosters
• Bus transportation to and from West Wyalong at the beginning and end of your shift
• Flexible work options - we know flexibility looks different for everyone

Does this sound like you?

• A strong commitment to safety and operational excellence
• Experience in mineral processing, gold room operations, or a similar industrial environment
• The ability to follow procedures and maintain accurate records and reporting
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach to teamwork
• High attention to detail and a commitment to maintaining security and compliance standards
• A willingness to learn and contribute across a range of processing activities

Experience in a gold room environment is highly regarded but not essential. Security clearance requirements will apply.
