Enacting our vision to be inspired people creating a premier global gold company, we are indeed a bold team with a bright future. Our operational diversity offers our employees access to many experiences and career opportunities within the one company.

At Cowal

At Cowal, our substantial investment has led to a longer mine life as we have boldly reimagined our future to 2040. Located near West Wyalong in central New South Wales, Cowal is a residential site where we encourage our people to live nearby and enjoy the close-knit communities and lifestyles of the surrounding areas.

Your Benefits

At Evolution, we support, develop and reward everyone who chooses to be a part of our bright future. Your benefits include relocation assistance, salary packaging (i.e. novated car leasing, remote area housing), life insurance and income protection, quarterly performance bonuses, employee share scheme, referral bonuses, recognition program, study assistance, discounted health insurance, discounted gym membership. Bus transportation is provided to and from West Wyalong at the beginning and end of your shift.

This roster is 7 days on, 7 days off, 7 nights on, 7 days off and a 12 hours day.

We understand that flexible work means something different to everyone and encourage you to have a conversation about the flexible work options available.

About the role

As a Mine Services Operator at Cowal, you'll play a critical role in maintaining safe and productive mining operations by managing the dewatering of the open pit. This includes:

    • installing and maintaining pumps
  • connecting pipework
  • supporting depressurisation systems to control groundwater.

You'll also assist with general mine services tasks, contributing to the smooth execution of mining projects.

What makes this role unique is its niche technical focus—you'll gain specialised experience in pit dewatering, a vital function that directly impacts operational success. While the work can be physically demanding, it offers variety, autonomy, and the opportunity to work both independently and in pairs depending on site activity. For the right candidate, there's also scope to develop into operating machinery such as loaders and excavators, enhancing your versatility and value on site.

Experienced De-Watering Operators can look forward to West Wyalong housing salary packaging offer.

This role is also a potential entry point into de-watering for individuals with no prior experience. If you're practical, reliable, and eager to learn, we'll support your development with on-the-job training and the opportunity to build a long-term career in mining.

About you

You're a hands-on, safety-focused individual with a strong work ethic and a willingness to learn. Ideally, you bring experience in open pit dewatering or a background in practical, outdoor work such as plumbing, farming, or labouring. You hold a current Light Vehicle (LV) licence, and while tickets like C2 Crane, Dogman, Poly Welding, or Chainsaw competency are desirable, they're not essential—we can support you to gain them.

You thrive in a role that offers both independence and teamwork, and you're motivated by the chance to contribute meaningfully to site operations. Whether you're experienced or looking to step into mining with the right attitude, this role offers a pathway to grow your skills and be part of a supportive, values-driven team.

At Evolution, as our name suggests, change and transformation is in our DNA. We want the Evolution experience to be your career highlight. We are an equal opportunity employer committed to creating a more inclusive and diverse workforce that represents the communities in which we operate. We provide a recruitment process that is fair, equitable and accessible for all and candidates from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply. We are focused on keeping our people safe and healthy and creating sustainable value in an environmentally and socially responsible way. Join our bold team to start your next exciting chapter.
