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 key role in shaping the future of one of Australia's largest gold mining operations. As our Structural Engineer, you'll deliver a diverse portfolio of capital and sustaining projects across fixed plant, infrastructure and operational assets, helping improve safety, reliability and site performance across Cowal Gold Operations. From major steelwork upgrades and infrastructure improvements through to site wide engineering initiatives, you'll see your work make a visible and lasting impact.

With ongoing investment across the operation, underground growth and a strong pipeline of engineering projects, this is an opportunity to take ownership of meaningful work, influence outcomes and develop your career within a site that continues to invest in its future.

Working a lifestyle friendly 5:2/4:3 roster, you'll enjoy the balance of a residential role in West Wyalong while contributing to projects that support the long-term success of the operation.

• Deliver structural capital and sustaining projects that improve safety, reliability and operational performance across site.
• Develop practical engineering solutions from concept through to execution, creating lasting value for the operation.
• Lead contractors, consultants and project teams to deliver work safely, on schedule and within budget.
• Provide technical guidance and support across structural engineering projects and operational improvements.
• Identify opportunities to improve asset performance, infrastructure reliability and engineering standards.
• Strengthen capability across the engineering team through technical leadership, mentoring and knowledge sharing.

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

• Relocation support
• Salary packaging (e.g. novated car leasing, remote area housing)
• Life insurance and income protection
• Employee share scheme – have a real stake in the company’s success
• Short and long-term incentives
• Attractive parental leave benefits (18 weeks)
• Recognition program
• Study assistance
