Gold Fields is a globally diversified gold producer with nine operating mines across Australia, South Africa, Ghana, Peru, Canada and Chile. In Australia, we have 4 operations where you'll gain hands-on experience, quality training and real-world challenges — all while working alongside a world-class team.

We're hosting an Assessment Day for a group of motivated, safety-focused individuals ready to step into upcoming Trainee Process Operator opportunities. If you're eager to break into mining, don't wait — apply now to secure your future.

Why join us?

  • Learn from industry experts who will mentor you every step of the way.
  • Operate various circuits of the processing plant — no two days are the same
  • Enjoy a lifestyle FIFO roster (8 days on, 6 days off, 7 nights on, 7 days off) with strong work-life balance.
  • Competitive pay, site allowance, private health allowance and quarterly bonuses
  • Access to our Employee Assistance Program and ongoing learning opportunities.

What you'll be doing

You'll buddy up with an experienced team of Process Operators to learn how to run different areas of the plant safely — from crushers and mills to leach tanks, elution, and control room operations.

You'll learn to operate and maintain machinery such as IT loaders, Bobcats, and forklifts, take slurry samples, and work safely with hazardous reagents and chemicals. You'll also get hands-on experience assisting with maintenance during shutdowns, plant cleaning, computer data entry (training provided) whilst participating in safety discussions to support a strong safety culture.

This is a 12-month employment offer with plenty of scope to grow your mining career. The role involves working in all-weather elements, manual work and lifting, and working at heights so a good level of fitness is important.

What you'll bring

  • A genuine passion for learning and a can-do attitude.
  • Experience with mobile equipment or labour-intensive work advantageous.
  • Current Driver's Licence (manual C class preferred).
  • Strong teamwork, communication and basic computer skills.
