Dewatering Technician

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? 
This is a residential, hands-on role where no two days are the same. Working across the Castle Hill Open Pit operation, you'll help keep pumps, pipelines and dewatering systems running safely and reliably to support mining activities. If you enjoy working outdoors, taking ownership of your work and solving practical problems, this is a great opportunity to build your skills in a large-scale gold mining operation. 

Based at our Mungari Operations on an 8:6 residential roster (Monday-Monday), and reporting to the Mining & Ore Haulage Contracts Superintendent, you'll: 

• Keep mining operations moving by installing, relocating and maintaining dewatering pipelines, pumps and associated infrastructure.
• Monitor and troubleshoot diesel-powered pumping systems to minimise downtime and production delays. 
• Conduct inspections, fault finding and preventative maintenance activities across a large operational footprint. 
• Support operational readiness activities, site infrastructure moves and general site services as required.
• Build strong working relationships with operational teams, contractors and stakeholders while working independently.  
• Champion safe work practices, environmental compliance and high housekeeping standards in everything you do. 

Why Mungari Operations? 
Mungari is a cornerstone asset in our portfolio, with a mine life to at least 2038. It’s operationally diverse, with opportunities to work on the surface or underground and a great team of people who care. Our recent expansion of the processing plant has more than doubled processing capacity from 2 million to 4.2 million tonnes per year. With open pit and processing all on one site, the operational diversity is ideal for uplifting careers.  

What suits your lifestyle best? We offer drive-in, drive-out (DIDO) and fly-in, fly-out (FIFO) rosters at Mungari. You choose. Live local in the world-class mining community and enjoy our competitive live-local incentives and allowances. Or choose FIFO and enjoy the camaraderie and benefits that village life offers.  

The future here is bright; you could be part of it.
