Ditch the Job Hunt Grind, let NORWEST Put You First In Line

Between contracts? Coming off a break? 2026 is quick becoming a bumper year, and the best opportunities go to the people exploration managers already know about.

Get on the NORGEO list now and be the first to be called when the right role lands.

What is NORGEO?

NORGEO is Australia's largest and only purpose-built network for contract exploration and mining field talent. Built by mining services people, for mining people. No generalist recruiters. Geology and field tech roles only.

Exploration managers across Australia use NORGEO to find vetted geologists and field technicians for rapid-deployment field programs. 24 to 48 hour fills are standard.

Every candidate on the list is matched on what matters: roster pattern, commodity, experience, FIFO departure city, shift type, day rate, and start availability. You won't be buried in a pile of generic CVs.

Why this matters now

Queensland exploration is running hot. Drilling programs across the North West Minerals Province, Charters Towers, Drummond Basin, the SE and Cape York are looking for crews. The people on the NORGEO list get the call first.

Everyone else applies. Then waits. Then applies again.

- QLD-based or FIFO/DIDO from Townsville, Brisbane, Cairns or Mackay

- Experience in RC, diamond, aircore or RAB drilling support

- Core handling and processing, QA/QC, data entry, any combination

- Reliable, work-ready, fit for remote camp life

What's in it for you

- Rates of $44–$58/hr depending on experience and role

- A pipeline of QLD programs across multiple commodities

- Short-notice work for when you want it, downtime when you don't

- A genuine specialist agency. Geologists and field techs only, no other sectors
