About the role

This is a genuine senior operational geology role with a growing underground gold producer. You'll be a key technical leader on site, working closely with mining, technical services and processing teams to ensure geological information is translated into safe, practical and profitable mining outcomes.

  • Growing multi-site gold producer with strong career progression opportunities.
  • Play a key role in shaping the future of the operation.
Key Responsibilities
  • Provide geological leadership across active underground production areas.
  • Drive excellence in grade control, reconciliation and ore forecasting.
  • Deliver practical geological advice to maximise ore recovery and minimise dilution.
  • Review stoping outcomes and validate grade control performance.
  • Manage geological data collection, validation and interpretation.
  • Track ore movement from underground through to the processing plant.
  • Lead reconciliation activities and identify opportunities for operational improvement.
  • Support mine planning and Life of Mine (LOM) planning activities.
  • Oversee resource and extensional drilling programs.
  • Contribute to safety, risk management and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Mentor, develop and manage geology personnel and contractors.
About You
  • Degree qualified in Geology or related discipline.
  • Strong underground gold mining experience.
  • Experience with grade control, geological modelling and reconciliation.
  • Proficient with Leapfrog and other 3D geological software.
  • Strong understanding of mine-to-mill processes.
  • Demonstrated leadership capability and experience mentoring others.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • Resource estimation experience would be highly regarded.
  • Current C Class Manual Driver's Licence.
What's on Offer
  • Competitive salary package.
  • Performance-based bonus scheme.
  • Health and wellness allowance.
  • Health insurance discounts.
  • Salary continuance insurance.
  • 5 years pro-rata long service leave.
  • Salary sacrifice options.
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
  • Family-friendly leave policies including IVF, surrogacy and adoption leave.
  • Employee referral bonuses.
