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?

This is not your typical IT support role.

As an ICT Systems Technician, you'll be responsible for the communication systems that keep one of Australia's premier underground mining operations connected and operating safely. From underground leaky feeder networks and radio communications through to CCTV, telephony and audiovisual systems, you'll play a critical role in maintaining and improving the technology that supports our people and operations every day.

Working across both surface and underground environments, you'll combine hands-on technical work, fault finding, system upgrades and project delivery to ensure reliable communications across the site. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys getting into the field, solving problems and working with a diverse range of technologies. In this role, you'll:

• Maintain and optimise underground and surface communication systems, including radio, leaky feeder, CCTV and telephony infrastructure.
• Diagnose and resolve faults across safety-critical communication systems with minimal impact to operations.
• Install, commission and support new communication infrastructure and site expansion projects.
• Manage radio systems, frequency planning and compliance requirements.
• Support CCTV systems, surveillance infrastructure and associated technologies.
• Deliver telephony, audiovisual and communication technology solutions across site.
• Work closely with IT, OT and operational teams to ensure reliable and integrated site technology.
• Support vendors, contractors and stakeholders to deliver high-quality technical outcomes.
