Ideally, you will have:

- Degree in geoscience or a related discipline, a strong foundation in all aspects of geoscience (ie use of geophysics, geochemistry, geological modelling), and good understanding of current geoscience best practices in data acquisition, interpretation and geological modelling
- A passion for developing capability and building an inclusive team which values diversity of thought and experience
- Iron Ore experience and a good knowledge of the geology of the Pilbara
- A thorough understanding of resource development processes, from data collection, through interpretation, to modelling, and geophysical and geochemical methodologies
- Excellent engagement skills and able to build relationships and collaborative environments with multiple stakeholders across a variety of locations

**What we offer**

Be recognised for your contribution, your thinking and your hard work, and go home knowing you’ve helped the world progress.
- An opportunity to be part of the world’s largest integrated portfolio of iron ore assets
- A work environment where safety is always the number one priority
- Career development & education assistance to further your technical or leadership ambitions
- A competitive salary reflective of your skills and experience with an annual incentive program
- Comprehensive medical benefits including subsidised private health insurance for employees and immediate family
- Leave for all of life’s reasons (vacation/annual, paid parental, sick leave)
- Attractive share ownership plan and an array of salary sacrifice and packaging options
- Exclusive employee discounts (banking, accommodation, cars, retail and more)

**Where you’ll be working**

The Geoscience Team as part of Resource Development actively encourages and supports flexible work. This includes workdays, hours, and location, in addition to flexible and part-time work schedules. This is a Perth-based role at Central Park. Regular site travel (non-rostered) will be required in this role.
