Geology Assistant

Join a well-established underground gold mining operation where you'll support both geology and geotechnical teams, contributing directly to safe and efficient mining activities. This is a hands-on role that will keep you close to the action, with responsibilities including face mapping, geological data collection, ground support inspections, and monitoring geotechnical instrumentation. 

You'll gain exposure to both geology and geotechnical disciplines, making this an excellent opportunity for someone looking to broaden their underground mining experience while developing valuable technical skills. 

Working on an 8/6, 7/7 FIFO roster from Perth on a 6-month contract with rotating day and night shift, you'll play an important role in collecting, recording, and maintaining geological and geotechnical data that supports day-to-day mining decisions and ground control management. 

You will have: 

• Previous underground mining experience supporting geologists and/or geotechnical engineers 
• Strong observational, recording, and data collection skills
• Experience driving vehicle’s underground  
• Current WA driver's licence (C-class and HR required) 
• Current national police clearance (within 12 months) 
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively within a team.

If you're looking for a role where you can expand on your underground experience, develop specialist technical skills, and contribute to both geology and geotechnical functions, we'd like to hear from you!
