About the Role

This is a unique opportunity for a geologist who thrives on variety, autonomy, and meaningful impact. Reporting to the Senior Geologist – Resource Definition, you'll play a key role in unlocking the mineral potential of a richly diverse mining lease at Cowal. From brand new open pits to a rapidly growing underground, this role offers exposure to multiple ore bodies and mineralisation styles, rarely found on a single site.

You'll be responsible for:

• Planning and managing drill programs across short- and medium-term horizons
• Logging and interpreting geological data to support operational decisions
• Turning geologic insight into three-dimensional models, with the goal of growing and defining the impressive resource base
• Maintaining QAQC standards and database integrity with precision

This role offers a healthy balance between field-based activities and time behind a desk. Whether it's managing drill rigs, logging core, and gathering valuable data on our orebodies through mapping, or turning that data into knowledge that drives decision-making, each day will present a varied and engaging challenge. You'll be part of a small, collaborative team where your insights and initiative will directly shape outcomes.

About You

You're already succeeding as a geologist, have built up solid experience, and now you're ready to step into a role with more scope, ownership, and geological diversity.

You're a geologist on an operating mine or active resource-stage exploration site, ready to take the next step in your career. You hold a tertiary qualification in geology or geosciences, and ideally a manual driver's licence. You're confident using software tools like Leapfrog, DataShed, and LogChief, and you know how to turn drill data into actionable insights.

What motivates you:

• Making a tangible impact – your work influences decisions, not just models
• Technical and operational challenge – you will be adding value across a range of deposits from active mines, to new developments
• Growth as a team – you will be working alongside a group that values independence, practicality, and leadership

You're solutions-focused, proactive, and equally comfortable collaborating in a group, or driving outcomes independently.  Whether your background is grass-roots exploration or at-the-face mining geology, you bring a hands-on mindset and a desire to accelearate your career growth, down on of the many paths on offer at Cowal.

Closing

At Evolution, as our name suggests, change and transformation is in our DNA. We want the Evolution experience to be your career highlight.
