Electrical 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 took our Cowal Gold Operations underground in just seven years. We’ve extended the mine life of our Ernest Henry Operations to 2040 and doubled its ore reserves. 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?
Reporting to the Electrical Team Leader, the Electrical Technician (Shift) will play a key role in maintaining safe, reliable, and efficient operation of the surface processing plant at Northparkes. You will work across a range of fixed plant assets, including mills, crushers, conveyors, and process instrumentation, performing both planned maintenance and breakdown support.
This is a hands-on role within a highly experienced and collaborative team, where you’ll have the opportunity to broaden your technical capability and contribute to the continued success of Northparkes.
Based at our Northparkes Operations, you’ll:
- Perform maintenance and repair of fixed and mobile electrical system
- Troubleshoot faults and ensuring plant reliability
- Support shutdowns and continuous improvement initiatives
- Work safely in accordance with Evolution standards and statutory requirements
Why Northparkes Operations?
Big things are happening at Northparkes. With our E22 Underground Project underway, we’re entering an exciting phase of growth that will underpin an extended mine life underground. This is your opportunity to be part of a career defining project, build new capabilities and contribute to one of Australia’s most exciting block cave development projects. At Northparkes, you don’t have to choose between a great career and a great lifestyle; you’ll get both. With flexible work options, opportunities to grow and a team that cares, this is where your bright future starts.
