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.
This is an opportunity to help shape the future of one of Australia's premier gold operations.
As our Senior Open Pit Mine Engineer , you'll play a key role in developing and optimising medium-term mine plans that directly influence the future performance of Cowal. From new satellite pit developments through to life-of-mine optimisation, you'll have the opportunity to see your work translate from design concepts into real operational outcomes.
Working a 5:2/4:3 roster at our Cowal Gold Operations, you'll enjoy the benefits of a residential lifestyle while gaining exposure to new pit developments, life-of-mine planning, scenario modelling and strategic mine optimisation. This role offers rare exposure across the full open pit lifecycle, from startup and ramp-up through to operational integration and closure planning.
Reporting to the Superintendent – Medium Term Planning, you'll:
Drive medium-term mine planning outcomes that maximise value, productivity and operational performance.
Influence the design and optimisation of new satellite pits and future mining opportunities.
