Entry Level Nipper Operator

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?

We've boldly reimagined our future at Mungari. We're growing and investing in what's ahead. There is now an opportunity for motivated, hardworking individuals looking to start a career in underground mining. You may come from a farming, agricultural, construction, heavy industrial, manufacturing, transport, warehousing or other physically demanding background and be looking for a long-term career opportunity. No previous underground mining experience is required. Based at our Mungari Operations and reporting to the Underground Shift Supervisor, you'll play an important role in supporting our Development and Production teams while learning the skills required for a successful career in underground mining.

As an Entry Level Nipper, your day-to-day will include:

• Supporting underground development and production crews with materials handling and mine services activities
• Transporting personnel, tools, equipment and consumables throughout the underground operation
• Assisting with vent bag installation, service extensions and general underground support tasks
• Performing manual labour and physically demanding work in a safe and productive manner
• Maintaining high housekeeping standards across the underground environment
• Conducting pre-start inspections and ensuring equipment is operated safely and efficiently
• Identifying and reporting potential hazards
• Working collaboratively with supervisors and team members to achieve production targets
• Learning underground mining processes and developing your skills through on-the-job training

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.
