Junior Geologist

  • Contract roles
  • $500 to $580 per day
  • FIFO Perth to Port Hedland
We’re partnering with one of our exploration clients to bring two Junior-Level Geologists on board for upcoming field programs kicking off mid to late January. If you’re looking to build solid, hands-on experience in a supportive exploration environment, these contracts are an excellent way to step up your field exposure.

What you’ll be doing:
You’ll be working closely with the client’s exploration team, supporting daily activities across field data collection, sampling, drill support and core handling. This is a great opportunity to develop your practical skills, learn from experienced geologists, and gain exposure to active drilling programs.

What we’re looking for:
  • Degree in Geology or related Earth Science discipline
  • Previous diamond or RC drilling exposure preferred
  • Manual driver’s licence
  • Current national police clearance
  • Ability to complete a full pre-employment medical and drug and alcohol testing
  • A positive attitude, willingness to learn and enthusiasm for site-based exploration.
Role details:
  • 12/9 roster
  • FIFO ex-Perth to Port Hedland
  • Mid to late January start
  • 3-to-6-month initial contract with potential for extension
  • Accommodation at a well-equipped exploration camp with air-conditioned rooms, shared amenities, a camp cook/cleaner and a gym.
Why this role is worth considering:
These positions are ideal for early-career geologists looking to sharpen their field skills, gain meaningful exposure to drilling programs and build confidence in a busy exploration environment. If you’re aiming to progress into longer-term geology roles, this is a strong stepping stone.

How to apply:
If this sounds like the right next move for you, please submit your CV and our team will be in touch in the coming days!

Unfortunately, MPI Recruitment are only able to consider people with relevant experience and education, and who are Australian Permanent Residents or have the necessary permits to work in Australia.
