Project Geologist – Resource Definition
Full Time NEW

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 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?

Few geology roles offer the chance to see a deposit’s journey from drill out and geological modelling through to active mining. That’s exactly what this Project Geologist (Resource Definition) opportunity at Cowal is all about.

Created as part of increased resource definition investment and drilling budgets, this role will place you at the centre of exciting growth across the operation. Working a family friendly 5:2/4:3 roster, you’ll enjoy the benefits of a residential lifestyle while contributing to major drilling, modelling and resource growth programs across both underground and open pit environments. It’s an opportunity to build technical depth, work with significant datasets and play a meaningful role in shaping the future of the operation.

Based at our Cowal Operations,  reporting to the Senior Resource Definition Geologist, you’ll:

• Turn drilling, geological and geochemical data into robust 3D geological models that support resource growth and future mining decisions
• Deliver successful drilling programs by coordinating contractors, managing budgets and ensuring work is completed safely and efficiently. 
• Influence future resource opportunities through geological interpretation, target generation and resource definition activities.
• Build capability within the team by mentoring graduate and developing geologists and sharing technical knowledge.
• Gain unique exposure to the full mining lifecycle, from resource definition through to deposits being mined

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.
