Who we are 

We’re a bold team with a bright future; and we’re looking for people who want to be part of it.  

Evolution Mining is a premier global gold company operating six mines across Australia and Canada. We’re transforming mines and uplifting careers. We’ve extended the mine life of our Ernest Henry Operations to 2040 and doubled its ore reserves. We took our Cowal Gold Operations underground in just seven years. We’re transforming our Red Lake Operations, restoring it as a premier Canadian gold mine. That kind of ambition creates careers, not just jobs.  

When we asked our people what they enjoy most about working at Evolution, two things came up across every site: career growth and the quality of the people. Here, you’ll work alongside people who care, who push one another to be better, with leaders who are there to support you. 

What’s the opportunity? 

As our Maintenance Shutdown Planner (Concentrator), you'll play a critical role in the successful delivery of maintenance shutdowns across the concentrator and processing infrastructure.

Working closely with Maintenance, Operations, Engineering and Contractors, you'll develop detailed shutdown plans, coordinate resources and ensure work is ready for safe and efficient execution. Your planning expertise will directly contribute to equipment reliability, operational performance and successful shutdown outcomes.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys coordinating complex work scopes, solving logistical challenges and working across multiple stakeholders to deliver results.

In this role, you’ll:

• Develop and coordinate shutdown scopes, schedules and work packs for concentrator maintenance activities
• Plan labour, materials, contractors and equipment requirements to ensure successful shutdown execution
• Build detailed work packages including job plans, permits, inspections, quality requirements and risk controls
• Coordinate with Operations, Maintenance and Engineering teams to ensure work readiness and minimise operational disruptions
• Monitor progress, manage scope changes and communicate updates to key stakeholders
• Maintain accurate records, forecasts and planning information within maintenance systems
• Support continuous improvement initiatives and contribute to future shutdown planning effectiveness.
