As our Senior Underground Geologist at East Kundana, you'll play a key role in leading and supporting a team of underground mine and project geologists, while working closely with the broader site team.
This is a hands‐on leadership role where you'll be guiding day‐to‐day geology activities and contributing to longer‐term planning and strategy. You'll have the opportunity to shape in‐mine exploration, influence decision‐making, and help drive strong geological outcomes across the operation.
A big part of the role is supporting and mentoring your team, helping them grow their capability and confidence while fostering a positive and collaborative team culture.
You'll also get involved in reporting, budgeting, and working with drilling contractors, giving you a good mix of technical, leadership, and commercial exposure.
Some of the things you'll be involved in include:
* Planning and coordinating in‐mine geological activities to support safe and effective production
* Contributing to and shaping in‐mine exploration strategies
* Supporting and developing a team of geologists
* Overseeing grade control processes and maintaining high QAQC standards
* Working with the Senior Resource Geologist on geological modelling and estimation
* Playing a part in reporting, forecasting, and budgeting cycles
This role is offered on an 8:6 roster (12‐hour days), FIFO from Perth or residential in the Goldfields.
