Engineer Geotechnical

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?

This is an opportunity to play a key role in the safe and successful delivery of underground mining at one of Western Australia's most significant gold operations. Working on an 8:6 roster (Thursday to Thursday), you'll join a technically strong team where your expertise will directly influence underground stability, mine design, seismic risk management, and operational performance.

Based at our Mungari Operations and reporting to the Senior Geotechnical Engineer, you'll have the flexibility to work residentially in Kalgoorlie-Boulder (relocation support to Kalgoorlie available within Australia), or FIFO from Perth. Backed by a long mine life, continued investment in growth, and genuine career development opportunities, this is a role where you'll be able to broaden your technical capability, contribute to key operational decisions, and see the impact of your work every day.

• Help keep our people safe underground by monitoring ground conditions, assessing geotechnical risks, and recommending practical controls.
• Influence mine performance through geotechnical analysis, excavation design reviews, and the ongoing optimisation of underground mining activities.
• Support the management and continuous improvement of our Ground Control Management Plan (GCMP) and Seismic Hazard Management Plan (SHMP).
• Provide technical guidance on paste backfill performance, quality assurance, risk management, and backfill design parameters.
• Collect, analyse and communicate geotechnical monitoring data to support informed operational and strategic decision-making.
• Contribute to mine planning by identifying opportunities, constraints and geotechnical considerations that support the safe and efficient extraction of ore.

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.
