Job description

• 8/6 roster | FIFO from Perth
• Permanent full-time role with exceptional benefits
• A genuine entry point into resource estimation

We are looking for a Project Geologist – Resources to join our Jundee Operations on an 8 days on, 6 days off roster, FIFO from Perth.

Jundee is a geology-first mine. Our growth, resource and operations geologists work as one vertically integrated team, driving the value chain from near‑mine exploration through to production. Resource estimation is done here on site, alongside the people that did the logging, mapping and face sampling – not in a corporate office.

This is a foot‑in‑the‑door role into resource estimation. If you’ve worked in operations and growth with some exposure to geological interpretation and wireframing, this is your next step into a dedicated resource‑focused role covering start‑to‑finish geological modelling and estimation. You’ll make that step under the guidance of our senior resource geologists, as part of a close‑knit and technically highly capable team.

What you can look forward to:

• Build and estimate grade‑control and development models – interpretation, wireframing, compositing, validation and release – with peer and senior technical review.
• Turn models around fast. Geological lead‑lag times between drilling, development, modelling and mining are short, so pace and reliability matter as much as rigour.
• Close the gap between model and reality by championing stope reconciliations.
• Spot what’s next. Having built the model, you’re closer to the data in an integrated manner than most – well placed to identify new targets and follow‑up drilling, and to support the growth team with incremental additions that grow the orebody and add real value!
• Coach and mentor more junior geologists in logging, rig management, underground mapping and face sampling; Resource geology is the end customer of that work, so lifting its quality is a core part of the role, not an extra.
• Work closely with planning and drill‑and‑blast engineers so models are delivered on time and aligned with budget, 3MS and weekly schedules.
• As you build experience, you’ll get the opportunity to take on resource models and contribute to annual Resource and Reserve reporting – the next step in a clear technical progression.

Where you’ll add value:

• Minimum 3 years practical experience in mining and/or exploration geology. Narrow‑vein gold experience highly regarded.
• Exposure to geological interpretation and modelling, with experience in the growth and interpretation space providing a sound foundation to start from.
• Working knowledge of Leapfrog and Datamine. Exposure to Deswik and acQuire in the mine‑geology workflow well regarded.
• Strong communication, stakeholder management and report‑writing skills.

Qualifications:

• Degree in Geology from a recognised tertiary institution.
• Current Western Australian C Class Driver’s Licence.

Our people, your benefits:

• Subsidised GU Health Insurance for employees and immediate family, including gold‑level hospital and ancillary benefits with rebates from 80%–100%.
• Competitive bonus program with quarterly and annual incentive opportunities.
• Employee share plans with free shares and matched contributions.
• Comprehensive parental leave policy and confidential wellbeing support.
• Salary packaging options, including novated leasing and FIFO benefits where applicable.
• 5 weeks annual leave for site‑based employees.
