About the Role
This is a rare chance to start your geology career underground, where the work is real, and the learning curve is steep, in the best possible way. Reporting to the Senior Underground Geologist, you’ll be part of a team that values practical thinking, clear communication, and collaboration above all.
You’ll be involved in geological mapping, stope and ROM inspections, and daily grade control activities that directly influence ore recovery. You’ll also contribute to QAQC processes and work closely with mining and drilling teams to optimise outcomes.
What makes this role different:
- You’ll be underground, not just observing but actively contributing from day one
- The team is known for its mentoring and internal promotions. This is a launchpad, not a holding pattern
- Communication and teamwork aren’t just nice-to-haves, they’re how things get done here
- Free accommodation with an 8/6 DIDO roster or support with relocation
About You
You’ve got the foundations and now you’re looking for the right place to build something solid. Maybe you’ve just finished uni, completed a grad program, or dipped your toes into the industry and realised you want something more hands-on, more team-driven, and more meaningful.
You’ve studied geology or geoscience, and you’re ready to apply that knowledge in a role where practical problem-solving, strong communication, and teamwork are front and centre. You’ve got a tertiary qualification, and ideally a manual C-class driver’s licence. Deswik experience is a bonus, but what really matters is your attitude and your drive to learn.
You’ll fit right in if you:
- Want to work underground and apply your skills in a real mining environment
- Value clear communication and thrive in a collaborative team
- Are looking for a role with structure, support, and genuine career progression
