Our Client We are partnering with an established Australian gold producer operating a long-life open-pit operation in Queensland.

The site has a well-established technical services function and a collaborative operating environment, with geology working closely alongside mining engineering, planning, metallurgy and production.

The operation offers strong exposure to active production geology, grade control and structural interpretation, with a practical, hands-on culture where geologists are expected to understand what is occurring in the pit and contribute directly to operational decision-making.

The business continues to invest in its geological capability and broader mine development, creating an opportunity to join a stable operation with meaningful mine life and ongoing resource upside.

The Opportunity

This is an operational Mine Geologist position focused on providing accurate and timely geological support across active open-pit mining operations.

You will work closely with senior geology personnel, mining crews and the broader technical services team to support grade control, ore definition, ore recovery and production outcomes.

The deposit is structurally complex, requiring geologists to use practical pit-based interpretation and mapping rather than simply relying on block models. There is strong exposure to structural geology, short-range grade variability and the geological controls influencing mineralisation.

This is a rostered site-based position, with DIDO and FIFO candidates able to be considered depending on experience, suitability and the final roster arrangement.

Key Responsibilities

- Conduct pit mapping, geological logging and interpretation across active mining areas.
- Support grade control drilling, sampling and ore delineation programs.
- Deliver daily ore mark-ups, dig block instructions and in-pit geological guidance.




- Work closely with mining operations to minimise ore loss and dilution.
- Maintain accurate geological data, database records and reconciliation information.
- Support geological modelling and interpretation using site software systems.
- Prepare daily, weekly and monthly geology reporting.
- Collaborate with mine planning, metallurgy and production teams to support ore blending and mine-to-mill performance.
- Monitor geological and structural conditions impacting mining.
- Contribute to ongoing improvement across grade control systems, data management and operational efficiency.

Requirements & Qualifications

- Bachelor of Science in Geology or equivalent tertiary qualification.
- Approximately 2-5 years experience in open-pit mining.
- Previous gold experience is highly regarded.
- Strong understanding of grade control and production geology.
- Practical pit mapping and geological interpretation capability.
- Experience with RC and/or grade control drilling programs.
- Exposure to geological modelling and mine geology software.
- Datamine experience would be advantageous.
- Experience with geological database systems is highly regarded.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with mining, planning and technical teams.
- Current manual driver licence.
- A practical, proactive and safety-focused approach.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

- Join an established, long-life Queensland gold operation.
- Gain genuine hands-on exposure to open-pit production geology.
- Work within an experienced geology and technical services team.
- Strong exposure to grade control, structural geology and operational decision-making.
- Chance to work across a geologically interesting and structurally complex orebody.
- Rostered FIFO and DIDO arrangements may be considered depending on the opportunity and candidate.
