About Catalyst Metals

Catalyst is focused on building a long-life gold business supported by disciplined technical planning and strong operational execution.

Catalyst Metals Limited is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX code: CYL).

Catalyst Metals Ltd is an equal opportunity employer and encourages applications from people who identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander.

About the Role

With more than 15 years of mine life ahead of us, there’s never been a better time to join our underground team. We take pride in the ground we work in – competent rock, a strong safety culture and a modern Sandvik fleet that sets you up for success.

As we grow across the belt, our satellite operations are creating opportunities for exposure to different ore bodies and mining environments, including upcoming narrow vein and paste-fill operations. This provides variety in your day-to-day work and the chance to broaden your underground capability across multiple styles of mining.

Backed by long-term job security and genuine progression pathways, this is a place where you can build a sustainable underground career while continuing to develop your skills.

As a Mining Supervisor, you'll play a key role in leading crews, delivering safe and productive outcomes, and supporting the continued growth of our underground operations.

This opportunity offers genuine variety. You may work as Shift Boss / Shift Supervisor at our main underground operation, or across our satellite deposits where you'll be part of a smaller, tight‑knit team and take a more hands‑on approach to leadership. In these environments, you'll guide your crew, fulfil your statutory responsibilities, and step in where needed to keep operations moving safely and efficiently.

You’ll have the opportunity to influence how we operate, mentor developing team members and help build capable, high‑performing crews. Backed by long‑term job security and genuine progression pathways, this is an opportunity to develop your leadership capability within a growing Australian gold producer.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and coordinate your crew of up to 15 people to achieve production and development targets using Sandvik development and production fleet
• Fulfil Section 26 statutory responsibilities in accordance with legislative requirements
• Promote and maintain a strong safety culture across all underground activities
• Monitor and coordinate daily underground mining activities to ensure operational efficiency
• Ensure compliance with mining plans, site procedures and legislative requirements
• Support, mentor and develop underground operators and team members
• Work collaboratively with Technical Services, Maintenance and other key stakeholders
• Drive accountability, performance and continuous improvement within your team

About You

To be successful in this role, you will have:

• WA Underground Supervisor's Certificate of Competency (Section 26 Statutory Qualification)
• Proven experience in a similar underground mining supervisory role
• Sound knowledge of the Mine Safety and Inspection Act and Regulations
• Strong communication and leadership skills with the ability to engage across all levels
• Well-developed organisational skills and a proactive approach
• Strong commitment to safety and team performance
• Current WA C-Class Driver's Licence
• Current Dangerous Goods Security Card (DGSC)
• National Police Clearance (or ability to obtain)

Desirable:

• First Aid Certificate
• Experience working across multiple underground mining operations or satellite deposits
• Experience leading teams in both production and development environments

Why Catalyst?

FIFO isn’t for everyone — it requires commitment and time away from home. That’s why we place strong emphasis on creating a supportive team culture, approachable leadership and an environment where people work hard, back each other in, and still find time to have a laugh and enjoy what site has to offer.

We offer:

• 8:6 7:7 roster promoting genuine work‑life balance
• Health insurance eligibility
• Salary sacrifice options including novated leasing, airport parking and more
• Short, walkable commute from camp to site with your own permanent room
• Exposure to a growing and expanding underground operation
• Opportunity to contribute beyond your core role and influence how we operate
• Supportive and collaborative site leadership team
• Ongoing development and internal progression opportunities

This role offers genuine development potential for someone looking to build their career within a growing Australian mining business.
