  • Identifying geological uncertainty and communicating associated risks to key stakeholders.
  • Providing technical input into mine extension projects, budgeting, forecasting and life-of-mine planning.
  • Supporting resource reporting and maintaining geological modelling and estimation processes.

To be successful, you will ideally bring:

  • A tertiary qualification in Geology, Geoscience or a related discipline.
  • Experience in mining or exploration geology, ideally within gold operations.
  • Hands-on experience in geological resource modelling and Mineral Resource Estimation.
  • Strong knowledge of geostatistics and resource estimation techniques, including linear estimation methods.

Experience with recoverable resource estimation, nonlinear estimation methods or conditional simulation would be highly regarded.

What we offer

  • Permanent, Perth-based corporate position.
  • Exposure to multiple WA gold mining operations.
  • Opportunity to take ownership of technically challenging resource estimation work.
  • Direct collaboration with senior technical leadership and operational geology teams.
