Geology Technician

If you're a geology field technician who wants to be involved in the early stages of drilling programs, supporting drill site preparation and earthworks activities in a hands-on field environment, then this role is for you.

You will help coordinate contractor-led earthworks and ensure drill sites are safely prepared and ready for drilling. The role focuses on field-based activities rather than core processing, with plenty of time spent outdoors working alongside contractors, geologists, and drilling personnel.

Key responsibilities includes:

• Assisting with drill site set‑out and preparation activities
• Supporting contractor‑led surface works ahead of drilling
• Working from planned layouts to prepare drill pads and sumps
• Observing daily progress and identifying issues that may affect readiness or safety
• Communicating regularly with geology and field teams to keep work moving in sequence
• Maintaining safe, orderly work areas during earthworks activities.

To be successful, you'll have:

• Previous experience in drill site preparation, earthworks coordination, and field-based geology support roles
• Experience working around active drilling programs and contractor-managed earthworks
• The ability to work independently and communicate effectively with geology, drilling, and operational teams
• Exposure to resource development or exploration environments
• A valid Manual C-class driver's licence
• A current Forklift licence
• A national police clearance issued within the last six months
• The ability to pass a pre-employment medical and drug & alcohol screen.
