Who we are

We’re a bold team with a bright future; and we’re looking for people who want to be part of it.

Evolution Mining is a premier global gold company operating six mines across Australia and Canada. We’re transforming mines and uplifting careers. We’ve extended the mine life of our Ernest Henry Operations to 2040 and doubled its ore reserves. We took our Cowal Gold Operations underground in just seven years. We’re transforming our Red Lake Operations, restoring it as a premier Canadian gold mine. That kind of ambition creates careers, not just jobs.

When we asked our people what they enjoy most about working at Evolution, two things came up across every site: career growth and the quality of the people. Here, you’ll work alongside people who care, who push one another to be better, with leaders who are there to support you.

What’s the opportunity?

Join a high-performing underground mining team operating one of the most critical pieces of equipment in the development cycle. As an Underground Jumbo Operator at Mungari, you'll play a key role in driving safe, efficient development while working with experienced crews who are committed to achieving production targets and maintaining high safety standards. This is an opportunity to build your career at a growing underground operation with a long-term future.

  • Based at our Mungari Operations and reporting to the Underground Shift Supervisor, you'll:
  • Safely operate a twin-boom Jumbo to achieve development targets and maintain the underground mining schedule.
  • Install ground support in accordance with the Ground Control Management Plan to maintain safe and productive working areas.
  • Drill development headings to design profile and quality standards, ensuring accurate excavation outcomes.
  • Contribute to the installation and maintenance of underground services and support development activities across the operation.
  • Work collaboratively with cross-shift crews, supervisors and technical teams to maintain operational continuity and performance.
  • Lead by example with a strong commitment to safety, hazard identification and Evolution Mining's values.

Why Mungari Operations?

Mungari is a cornerstone asset in our portfolio, with a mine life to at least 2038. It’s operationally diverse, with opportunities to work on the surface or underground and a great team of people who care. Our recent expansion of the processing plant has more than doubled processing capacity from 2 million to 4.2 million tonnes per year. With open pit and processing all on one site, the operational diversity is ideal for uplifting careers.

What suits your lifestyle best? We offer drive-in, drive-out (DIDO) and fly-in, fly-out (FIFO) rosters at Mungari. You choose. Live local in the world-class mining community and enjoy our competitive live-local incentives and allowances. Or choose FIFO and enjoy the camaraderie and benefits that village life offers.
