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 a Refrigeration Mechanic within our Underground Electrical Maintenance team, you'll play a critical role in ensuring underground refrigeration and air conditioning systems remain safe, compliant and reliable.

Working across a range of underground infrastructure and fixed plant assets, you'll diagnose faults, perform maintenance and repairs, and contribute to the ongoing reliability and performance of critical refrigeration and cooling systems that support our underground operations.

Based at our Ernest Henry Operations and reporting to the Supervisor - Underground Fixed Electrical Maintenance, you’ll:

• Maintain, repair and troubleshoot underground refrigeration and air conditioning systems
• Support asset reliability through quality maintenance and compliance-focused work practices
• Monitor and maintain water systems, including activities that support Legionella risk management
• Complete accurate maintenance records, work orders and compliance documentation using site systems
• Provide technical support and contribute to maintenance and asset improvement initiatives
• Mentor apprentices and support capability development within the maintenance team.

Why Ernest Henry Operations? 

Ernest Henry is a cornerstone asset in our portfolio. It has high-quality equipment, high standards and great management team. With a mine life to 2040 and doubled ore reserves, there are countless opportunities for people to evolve and give their career an uplift.
