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 arethere to support you.

What's the opportunity?

Join Evolution Mining's Mungari Operations as a Leading Hand Mechanical Maintenance and play a key role in driving the performance, reliability and safety of our underground mobile fleet. Reporting to the Underground Maintenance Supervisor, you'll provide frontline leadership to a team of skilled tradespeople, ensuring maintenance activities are executed safely, efficiently and to the highest standard.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced underground fitter looking to step into a leadership role, or an established Leading Hand seeking a long-term career with a growing operation that offers genuine development opportunities and a mine life extending to 2038.

Based at our Mungari Operations, you'll:

• Lead, coordinate and support a team of maintenance professionals to safely deliver planned and breakdown maintenance activities.
• Drive equipment reliability and fleet availability to support operational targets and minimise downtime.
• Work closely with Supervisors and Planners to execute maintenance schedules and manage daily priorities.
• Provide coaching, mentoring and technical guidance to develop team capability and performance.
• Monitor work quality and ensure maintenance tasks are completed in accordance with site standards and best practice.
• Facilitate effective shift handovers and ensure maintenance documentation is completed accurately and on time.
• Promote a proactive safety culture through visible leadership, hazard identification and risk management.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and root cause investigations to enhance equipment performance and maintenance processes.
• Build strong working relationships across maintenance, operations and contractor teams to achieve site objectives.

This role offers the opportunity to make a genuine impact while leading a high-performing team in a modern underground mining environment.
