Senior Underground Mine Surveyor

About the Operation

Join a modern, fully operational underground gold mining project located in a highly prospective goldfield of Western Australia’s Eastern Goldfields region. The operation is 100% owner-operated and includes a recently commissioned processing facility, multiple high-grade underground mining areas, and a strong pipeline of ore sources supported by ongoing exploration and resource development drilling.

The project has delivered consistent production growth over multiple consecutive quarters and currently supports a long mine life with significant expansion potential. The operation is backed by a substantial mineral resource base (multi-million-ounce scale), with multiple deposits remaining open at depth and along strike.

With a well-established underground mining contractor in place, the site offers a highly autonomous, hands-on environment with strong exposure to both production and technical mining challenges.

Accommodation is provided in a modern village located in the nearby township, featuring full catering, gym facilities, and access to local town services.
