Underground Mine Geologist
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’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? 

Ernest Henry Operations is launching a new underground stoping project, a brand-new mining area that will play a key role in the future of the operation. This is a rare opportunity to join a project from the very beginning, helping to shape how geology is executed within a newly established stoping environment.

As a Geologist, you’ll be embedded within an autonomous crew structure, working closely with the mining contractor and playing a hands-on role in establishing processes, supporting production geology, and contributing to early stope design and execution. This role offers a high level of ownership, strong operational exposure, and the ability to directly influence how the mine develops.

Based at our Ernest Henry Operations and reporting to the Geology Superintendent you’ll:

• Provide geological support to underground stoping operations, including mapping and interpretation
• Deliver grade control and sampling activities to support safe and efficient ore extraction
• Coordinate and supervise grade control diamond drilling programs
• Work closely with mining contractors and site stakeholders to optimise production outcomes
• Conduct underground geological mapping, inspections and data collection
• Complete stope notes, reconciliation and reporting
• Support the development and implementation of geological systems, processes and procedures
• Contribute to geological modelling updates and interpretation based on ongoing operations.

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.
