Senior Geologist | Underground Hard Rock | WA
Are you an experienced geologist looking for your next leadership opportunity? We're partnering with a respected Western Australian mining operation to find a Senior Geologist who enjoys combining hands-on technical work with leading and growing a team. Experienced Project Geologists considered.
About the opportunity
You'll play a central role in the day-to-day geological performance of the operation, making sure what's mined matches what's planned.

Key responsibilities include:
- Leading and coaching a team of geologists and technical staff
- Overseeing grade control and ensuring ore quality targets are met
- Supporting mine design with sound geological input
- Managing reconciliation and regular reporting
- Building strong working relationships across technical and operational teams
What we're looking for
- Solid experience as a geologist in the mining industry, preferably underground
- Previous team leadership or supervisory experience, or a strong readiness to step into it
- Confident communication skills and the ability to influence across departments
- Familiarity with geological modelling and mine planning software
- A tertiary qualification in Geology and a current WA driver's licence
Why apply
This is a chance to take on a role with real responsibility and visibility, working with a supportive technical team that values career development and practical problem-solving.
