Job Description
We are partnering with an established Australian gold producer operating a long-life open-pit operation in Queensland.
n
The site has a well-established technical services function and a cooperative operating environment, with geology working closely alongside mining engineering, planning, metallurgy and production.
n
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.
n
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.
n
The Opportunity
n
This is an operational Mine Geologist position focused on providing accurate and timely geological support across active open-pit mining operations.
n
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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
Key Responsibilities
n
n
Conduct pit mapping, geological logging and interpretation across active mining areas.
n
Support grade control drilling, sampling and ore delineation programs.
n
Deliver daily ore mark-ups, dig block instructions and in-pit geological guidance.
n
Work closely with mining operations to minimise ore loss and dilution.
n
Maintain accurate geological data, database records and reconciliation information.
n
Support geological modelling and interpretation using site software systems.
n
Prepare daily, weekly and monthly geology reporting.
n
Collaborate with mine planning,



metallurgy and production teams to support ore blending and mine-to-mill performance.
n
Monitor geological and structural conditions impacting mining.
n
Contribute to ongoing improvement across grade control systems, data management and operational efficiency.
