Senior Geologist Underground

About the Role

As our Senior Underground Geologist at East Kundana, you’ll play a key role in leading and supporting a team of underground mine and project geologists, while working closely with the broader site team.

This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll be guiding day-to-day geology activities and contributing to longer-term planning and strategy. You’ll have the opportunity to shape in-mine exploration, influence decision-making, and help drive strong geological outcomes across the operation.

A big part of the role is supporting and mentoring your team helping them grow their capability and confidence, while fostering a positive and collaborative team culture.

You’ll also get involved in reporting, budgeting, and working with drilling contractors, giving you a good mix of technical, leadership, and commercial exposure.

Some of the things you’ll be involved in include:

• Planning and coordinating in-mine geological activities to support safe and effective production
• Contributing to and shaping in-mine exploration strategies
• Supporting and developing a team of geologists
• Overseeing grade control processes and maintaining high QAQC standards
• Working with the Senior Resource Geologist on geological modelling and estimation
• Playing a part in reporting, forecasting, and budgeting cycles

This role is offered on an 8:6 roster (12-hour days), FIFO from Perth or residential in the Goldfields.

About You

We’re looking for someone who brings a strong foundation in underground mine geology, along with a collaborative and down-to-earth approach to working with others.

You might already be operating at a senior level, or you could be ready to take that next step into a leadership role either way, you’re someone who enjoys being hands on, supporting others, and contributing to a team environment.

You’ll likely bring:

• 6+ years’ experience in underground mining and exploration geology (gold experience will be highly regarded)
• Confidence working with geological data, grade control, and modelling
• Exposure to drilling programs and contractor management
• Familiarity with 3D modelling software

Alongside your technical skills, you’re someone who:

• Enjoys mentoring and supporting the development of others
• Communicates well and builds strong working relationships across teams
• Takes ownership of their work and follows things through
• Values safety and doing things the right way

We recognise that people come from different backgrounds and experiences so if this role sounds like a good fit for you, we’d genuinely encourage you to apply, even if you don’t tick every single box.

You’ll also need to hold relevant geology qualifications and a current WA driver’s licence.
