About This Role An opportunity is available for an experienced Senior Mine Geologist - Open Pit to join an established Western Australian gold operation. This position offers broad technical and people responsibility within the site geology function, suited to a Senior Geologist who enjoys being hands-on, developing people and finding better ways of working.

Working closely with the wider Technical Services and Operations teams, you will provide leadership across underground mine geology activities, supporting the safe and effective delivery of grade control, production geology, drilling, geological modelling and reconciliation. You will play an important role in maintaining geological confidence and ensuring quality geological information is available to support short and medium-term mine planning and production decisions. The position will see you provide technical guidance and mentoring to the geology team while maintaining a strong presence across day-to-day underground activities. You will work collaboratively with Mining Engineering, Planning and Production to optimise ore recovery, minimise dilution and ensure geological outcomes align with operational requirements. Beyond day-to-day production, you will have the opportunity to take genuine ownership of the geology function by reviewing existing systems, identifying opportunities for improvement and implementing more effective processes and procedures. The operation is looking for someone who is comfortable challenging existing ways of working, introducing new ideas and helping build a high-performing geology team.



This is an opportunity for a technically strong Senior Underground Gold Geologist who wants more than simply maintaining an established system. You'll have the scope to influence geological performance, develop people and make a meaningful contribution to the continued growth and performance of the underground operation.
