Core Lithium is seeking experienced Medic Emergency Services Officers (MESOs) to support the continued development of underground emergency response capability at the Finniss Lithium Operation in the Northern Territory.

We are looking for people who thrive in high-risk operational environments, bring strong practical emergency response capability, and want to contribute to building a professional long-term emergency response function within the operation.

n

Core Lithium's long-term workforce strategy is focused on building a stable residential workforce based in Darwin and the surrounding region.

Relocation support is available for interstate candidates interested in permanently relocating to Darwin. For the right candidate, short-term FIFO arrangements may be considered initially to support transition and relocation, however the long-term expectation is residential relocation within the first few months of employment.

About the Opportunity

n

These are hands-on operational leadership roles focused on developing emergency response readiness across a growing underground mining operation.

n





Working closely with site leadership, you will help shape emergency response standards, training programs, rescue systems and operational readiness as the underground operation continues to develop.
