About the Role

This role isn’t about keeping things ticking over, it’s about transformation. We’re looking for a strategist and a problem solver, someone who sees outdated systems as an opportunity to create smarter, sharper, future ready solutions.

Cowal is in a significant growth phase - expanding open pit operations, integrating underground mining, and maintaining a large-scale processing facility. With growth comes complexity, and we need scalable, innovative training solutions. You’ll be at the centre of this evolution.

Reporting to the Superintendent – Safety, Health & Training, you will lead a capable team with the opportunity to shape, develop, and grow them into a high-performing function. Your focus: revamp and modernise the CGO Training Framework including renewing the Training Needs Analysis (TNA), strengthening governance, improving training compliance, and designing a forward-looking 12-month training plan that supports operational excellence and future site growth.

What makes this role stand out:

• Design from the ground up: Modernise our competency frameworks and TNA.
• Solve real challenges: Bring clarity to diverse operational areas, including processing circuits with varying skill levels.
• Shape culture: Your work will directly influence how our people learn, grow, and succeed.
• If you’re ready to lead with purpose and deliver meaningful change, this is your opportunity.

 
About You

You’re experienced and innovative. You’ve led training programs in mining or heavy industry and know how to turn complexity into clarity. You ask “why?” and then build the “how.” You see systems not just for what they are, but for what they could be.

You hold a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAE40116 or successor) and ideally a tertiary qualification in a training related discipline. What truly sets you apart is your mindset: strategic, curious, and relentlessly solutions focused.

You’ll thrive here if you:

• Enjoy untangling legacy frameworks and designing smarter, intuitive solutions.
• Balance hands on delivery with strategic planning, comfortable running training days and mapping long term plans.
• Are motivated by impact - your work matters and drives real change.
• Have experience in processing or open pit operations and understand site based training realities.
  
  

At Cowal, you’ll have the autonomy, resources, and support to make a lasting impact.

At Evolution, as our name suggests, change and transformation is in our DNA. We want the Evolution experience to be your career highlight.
