About the Role
This is a role where your calm under pressure, leadership in the field, and commitment to safety will make a real difference. As our Emergency Response Advisor, you’ll be the steady hand behind our site’s emergency readiness, working with a capable team and modern equipment to keep people safe and prepared.
You’ll report to the Senior Advisor – Health, Safety and Emergency Response, but your influence will be felt across the entire Cowal site (Underground, Open Pit, Processing Plant). From running weekly training sessions to leading site-wide emergency drills, you’ll be the person everyone trusts when it matters most.
Here’s what makes this role stand out:
- You’ll lead a team of everyday heroes, operators, trades, and processing staff, who form our Emergency Response Team.
- You’ll be hands-on with new equipment, real-world training, and site-wide safety systems.
- You’ll be the cornerstone of our emergency preparedness, leading inspections, managing equipment, and ensuring we’re always ready to respond.
- You’ll have the autonomy to shape how we prepare, respond, and recover, because your expertise matters.
Whether you’re a seasoned ESO, a paramedic ready for a new challenge, or a firefighter looking to apply your skills in mining, this is a role where you’ll be valued, supported, and given room to grow.
About You
You’re the kind of person who thrives in high-stakes environments. Not because you chase chaos, but because you know how to bring calm, order, and care when it counts. You’ve built your career on being ready, reliable, and respected.
You’ll bring:
- Solid experience in emergency response, ideally in mining, oil and gas, or industrial settings
- Certificate III in Mine Emergency Response and Certificate IV in Pre-Hospital Emergency Medical Response or Occupational First Aid
- Confidence in leading training, managing equipment, and responding to incidents with professionalism
You’re motivated by purpose and people. You want to work somewhere that values your skills, gives you autonomy, and supports your growth. If this sounds like you, you’ll feel right at home here, at Evolution Mining Cowal Gold Operations.
