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? At Cowal, the way we manage ground conditions across both open pit and underground operations is critical to how we mine safely and efficiently. This Geotechnical Engineer role gives you the opportunity to build your capability across both environments - developing your technical skills while contributing to real operational outcomes. Working an 8:6 roster, you’ll enjoy a strong balance between site-based experience and time off, while gaining exposure to a diverse range of geotechnical conditions, mining stages and project work across an integrated operation.
