Who we are 

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 are?there to support you. 

What’s the opportunity? 

This isn’t your typical IT role.

As an IT Infrastructure Specialist, you’ll be responsible for the technology that underpins one of Australia’s premier underground mining operations. From networks, virtual servers and security systems through to major infrastructure projects and site-wide technology improvements, you’ll play a critical role in keeping the operation connected, secure and running efficiently.

This is a highly varied role where no two days are the same. One day you could be troubleshooting a complex network issue, the next leading infrastructure upgrades, supporting critical operational systems or working closely with site teams to deliver technology solutions that directly impact production and performance.

Working closely with operational, technical and corporate stakeholders, you’ll help drive the reliability, security and continuous improvement of the site’s IT environment.  In this role, you’ll:

• Support and maintain enterprise IT infrastructure, networks, servers and applications across site
• Provide Level 2 and Level 3 technical support for complex incidents and escalations
• Manage Active Directory, identity management, access control and security systems
• Support virtualisation, backup and disaster recovery environments
• Lead and contribute to infrastructure projects, upgrades and technology improvements
• Work closely with ICT and Operational Technology teams to support integrated site systems
• Partner with vendors and support providers to deliver reliable and secure technology services.

Why Ernest Henry Operations? 

Ernest Henry is a cornerstone asset in our portfolio. It has high-quality equipment, high standards and great management team. With a mine life to 2040 and doubled ore reserves, there are countless opportunities for people to evolve and give their career an uplift.  

Choose what suits your lifestyle best. Live local in the close-knit community of Cloncurry, It’s a great place for families, and you can enjoy our competitive live-local incentives and allowances. Or choose fly-in, fly-out (FIFO), with attractive rosters. Being away from home is easier when you get to stay in a high-quality camp with top-class facilities. Our FIFO people openly refer to the close-knit community as their second family.   

The future here is bright; you could be part of it.
