Manage grade control systems and operational geology support.

Design and execute exploration programs, and implement gravity surveys to enhance resource identification.

Oversee contractor supervision, approvals, and heritage engagement.

Maintain geological data systems, QA/QC processes, and monthly reporting.

Key Requirements:

Tertiary qualification in geology, mining engineering, or a related discipline.

Proven experience in iron ore operations, particularly in BIF-hosted hematite deposits.

Strong leadership skills with a track record of managing geological teams.

Familiarity with gravity surveys and geological data interpretation.

Manual C-Class WA Driver’s License.
