Key skills for this role
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 took our Cowal Gold Operations underground in just seven years. We’ve extended the mine life of our Ernest Henry Operations to 2040 and doubled its ore reserves. 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.

As the Senior Geotechnical Engineer, you'll play a pivotal role in establishing and supporting a major greenfield mining project. Working closely with mining, geology and project stakeholders, you will provide geotechnical expertise that directly influences pit design, slope performance, operational safety and long-term asset value.
Working a family friendly 5:2/4:3 roster with 9 hour days, you'll enjoy a great lifestyle balance while contributing to a project that will have a lasting impact on Northparkes future. With multiple open pit developments planned across the operation, this role provides a unique opportunity to influence Northparkes long-term open pit strategy and contribute to future growth projects beyond E28NE.
