Your benefits include relocation assistance, salary packaging (i.e. novated car leasing, remote area housing), quarterly bonuses, employee share scheme, referral bonuses, recognition program, study assistance, discounted health insurance, and allowances for DIDO and local employees.

At Ernest Henry, you can choose what suits your priorities. Work an attractive fly-in/fly-out (FIFO) roster from Cairns or Townsville or a drive-in/drive-out (DIDO) roster and take advantage of our top-class camp, or live local in the close-knit community of Cloncurry and be home every night.

This roster is 8/6 (days) - 7/7 (nights) and a 12-hour 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 Development Supervisor, you'll play a central role in leading safe and efficient development activities in a sub level caving mining environment.

Your work matters: you'll guide a crew that keeps our operations safe, productive, and aligned with mine plans. Every decision you make helps us meet our development goals whilst protecting people and equipment.

What you'll do:

• Stop unsafe work and take swift and decisive action during incidents, near misses, or emergencies.
• Lead, coach, and motivate crews to work safely and productively.
• Monitor headings, ground conditions, and ventilation to keep environments safe.
• Liaise with technical services to turn mine plans into action.
• Allocate people and equipment to the right tasks and manage servicing.
• Run pre-start meetings, safety briefings, and shift handovers.
• Complete accurate shift reports, production data, and equipment records.
• Drive continuous improvement in development practices.

About You

You'll be an experienced underground operator ready to step up, or a proven supervisor looking for your next challenge. Either way, you bring:

• A Shift Supervisor Certificate (S1, S2, S3 or statutory equivalent).
• Current First Aid/CPR and valid driver's licence.
• Previous experience in a supervisory position in an underground hard rock environment
• Strong knowledge of development practices, ground support, and mining equipment.
• A practical understanding of mining safety systems — from risk management to isolation procedures.
• The leadership skills to inspire your crew, solve problems, and keep the team safe and on task.

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. 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.
