Underground Geologist
The first few years underground can shape the rest of your geology career. This opportunity offers the technical exposure, mentoring and operational experience to build a strong foundation.
Working an 8/6 FIFO roster from Perth, you'll join a large and well-resourced geology team supporting a high-performing underground gold operation. Reporting to a Senior Geologist, you'll gain exposure to grade control, production geology, underground drilling and geological interpretation while building the practical experience needed to advance your career.
The operation continues to invest heavily in development and resource growth, providing a steady stream of geological work and opportunities to strengthen your technical skills. You'll work closely with mining, survey and engineering teams, contributing information that directly supports production decisions and mine planning outcomes.
Alongside a comprehensive benefits package that includes private health insurance, additional annual leave, salary packaging options, share plans and parental leave benefits, you'll be joining a business with an established track record of developing geologists into more senior technical and leadership positions.
This is a position for someone who enjoys being underground, understanding how an orebody behaves and translating geological information into practical mining outcomes. You'll be responsible for grade control activities, production reporting, geological mapping and interpretation, reconciliation work and the supervision of underground diamond drilling programs. The role combines hands-on operational geology with regular collaboration across site to ensure geological information is accurate, timely and actionable.
What You'll Bring
If you're looking for a role where you'll be supported by experienced geologists, exposed to a broad range of underground geology activities and given clear opportunities for long-term development, we'd welcome a confidential discussion.
Unfortunately, MPI are only able to consider people with appropriate and relevant experience, and who are either Australian Permanent Residents or have the necessary permits to work in Australia and whom are currently in Australia.
