  • Actively participating in fieldwork with a strong focus on health, safety, and environmental best practice

About you:

  • A recent tertiary qualification (within the last two years or completing by December 2025) in archaeology, anthropology, cultural heritage management, or a related discipline
  • Strong interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills, with the ability to build rapport and positively influence stakeholders
  • Solid organisational and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple tasks
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office and a graduate-level understanding of GIS software, with report writing capability
  • An understanding of Indigenous culture, values, and relevant heritage or native title legislation, with archaeological survey experience highly regarded
  • A current Class C driver's licence and willingness to travel to site locations as required

About Hancock Iron Ore
The world of iron ore is evolving, and so are we. Atlas Iron and Roy Hill have joined forces to become Hancock Iron Ore, building on our combined strengths of resilience and innovation. 

Our portfolio of world-class iron ore operations located in West Australia's Pilbara region has a strong history of delivering reliable products for our customers in key international markets. As one team under Hancock Iron Ore, we have four operating mines: Roy Hill, Miralga Creek, Sanjiv Ridge, and Mount Webber, with McPhee Creek under construction plus a range of exciting development opportunities.

We deliver more than 70 million tonnes of ore each year through our own two-berth port facility at Stanley Point and the multi-user Utah Point in Port Hedland, providing the materials needed to foster global economic growth and development. Leveraging established infrastructure, including our processing plant and 344km independently owned and operated heavy haul railway, our operation oversees each moment from when ore is mined through to when it is shipped.

Equal Opportunity

Hancock Iron Ore is an Equal Opportunity Employer and encourages Indigenous Australians, Veteran personnel and females to apply. We promote cultural diversity, gender equality and non- discrimination. We are proud of our relationships with our Traditional Owners and value the difference these partnerships make to the success of the project and to the lives of the people on whose land we operate.
