Job description

AngloGold Ashanti is a global gold mining company with a diverse, high-quality portfolio of operations, projects and exploration activities across 10 countries on four continents. We pursue value-creating opportunities involving other minerals, where we can leverage our existing assets, shareholdings, skills, and experience.

At AngloGold Ashanti, we assure you of work that carries significance and creates tangible results. What we do goes beyond mining. We build livelihoods in communities, champion environmental stewardship, and strengthen local and national economies. Our leaders and teams are committed to listening to and supporting each other, valuing differences, and embracing equity. We are convinced that greatness only happens when we prioritize these behaviors and the well‑being of every person.

At AGA, we value diverse perspectives. If you’re ready to take on challenges and make an impact, we’d love to hear from you – even if you don’t meet every requirement.

The role is accountable to the Mine Technology Lead and is responsible for the installation, support, system planning, and troubleshooting of mine site technology infrastructure. This is predominantly for the underground operation, specifically including (but not limited to) radio systems and wireless networks; however, there may also be some surface operational requirements. The role is site-based on an 8/6 roster.

About the Role

• Assist with the installation of radio and Wi‑Fi equipment, including (but not limited to) leaky feeder cabling, Wi‑Fi access points, and radiating cable.
• Provide support and troubleshooting for the mine site communication infrastructure, specifically radio systems (TETRA digital, UHF radio), as well as the wireless network to ensure safe and efficient operation.
• Provide system administration for the TETRA digital UHF radio system.
• Work to ensure reliable wireless communications across the mine to enable effective network coverage.
• Provide hands‑on, first‑level support for the repair and maintenance of technology hardware.
• Inspect communications and electronic systems to ensure compliance with statutory requirements and business needs.
• Analyse equipment failure trends and recommend replacement equipment, components, or continuous improvement initiatives.
• Maintain the radio fleet map for the TETRA digital UHF radio system.
• Repair radios where possible.
• Provide radio programming for subcontractors and other staff.
• Monitor telecommunications system performance and actively seek opportunities for continuous improvement.
• Terminate and repair fibre cabling.
• Provide support and troubleshooting across the site for all operational technologies as required.

About You

People are at the heart of everything we do. We want you to collaborate with us, share your ideas and feel confident to challenge the status quo. You’ll bring a strong mix of technical know‑how and practical experience to the team. To be considered, you should have:

• Previous experience in a communications/systems role
• Experience with fleet management systems with HP GPS (e.g. MineStar, Modular, Jigsaw)
• Underground communications experience (DAS, leaky feeder)
• ACMA Open Cabling Licence with fibre, structured cabling, and coaxial endorsements
• Ability to obtain a Security Installer’s Licence
• Rigging ticket (desirable)
• Integrated tool ticket (desirable)
• Effective written and verbal communication skills
• Experience working with wireless networks and radio systems
• Current and ongoing valid permanent work rights in Australia (mandatory)

Belong at AngloGold Ashanti Australia and make gold a part of your story — a story of exploring, mining, and processing one of the world’s most sought‑after precious metals.
