Geologist - Exploration

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?

As our Exploration Geologist, you'll be part of a collaborative Discovery team responsible for generating targets and delivering exploration programs focused on finding and defining economic gold and copper gold mineralisation. You'll contribute across the full exploration cycle, from field programs and drilling campaigns through to interpretation, modelling and reporting.

Working an 8:6 residential roster at Cowal, you'll enjoy genuine lifestyle balance while building your technical capability in a high-performing exploration environment. You'll gain exposure to both near-mine and regional exploration programs while contributing to the long-term growth of one of Australia's leading gold operations.

Reporting to the Superintendent - Discovery and Resource Definition, you'll:

• Help deliver exploration programs that generate and test new resource growth opportunities.
• Develop geological interpretations and models that support exploration success and future resource definition.
• Contribute valuable technical insights through geological logging, sampling and data analysis.
• Build strong relationships with operational teams, specialists, contractors and landholders.
• Support safe, environmentally responsible exploration activities across the Cowal region.

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.
