Looking to lock in a full exploration season and be part of a well‑run drilling program with consistent work and a supportive team?

We’re seeking a Field Assistant to join a long‑term exploration campaign running from April through September, suited to someone who can commit for the full field season.

This is a hands‑on field role where you’ll work closely with geologists and supervisors across RC and Diamond drilling programs, supporting day‑to‑day operations and contributing directly to the success of the program. Reliability, a strong work ethic, and a safety‑first approach are essential, as this program values consistency and teamwork across the entire campaign.

Each swing is well structured and supported, typically made up of a Senior Exploration Geologist, Exploration Geologists, a Field Supervisor, and Field Assistants, creating a collaborative and efficient working environment.

In this role, you’ll assist with RC and Diamond drilling operations, including core handling, sampling, and general field duties, while supporting geologists and supervisors on site and maintaining safe work practices and camp standards. This is a physically active, outdoor role suited to people who enjoy field‑based work and being part of a tight‑knit exploration crew.

About you:

• Previous experience as a Field Assistant or Geology Technician, with hands‑on RC and Diamond Drilling experience
• Manual C‑class driver’s licence (essential)
• Current national police clearance or the ability to obtain one
• Able to successfully complete a pre‑employment medical and D&A testing
• First Aid Certificate and Forklift ticket highly regarded
• Strong work ethic, safety‑first mindset, and ability to work as part of a team
• Available to commit to the full field season (April to September)
• Comfortable working in a remote, field‑based exploration environment.

The role operates on a 15/13 FIFO roster, flying ex Perth to Kununurra via commercial flights, followed by charter flights to site. You’ll be based at a fully functioning exploration camp with comfortable facilities.

If you’re keen to secure a full season of field work within a well‑supported exploration team, we’d welcome your application.
