Who we are 

We’re a bold team with a bright future; and we’re looking for people who want to be part of it.  

Evolution Mining is a premier global gold company operating six mines across Australia and Canada. We’re transforming mines and uplifting careers. We’ve extended the mine life of our Ernest Henry Operations to 2040 and doubled its ore reserves. We took our Cowal Gold Operations underground in just seven years. We’re transforming our Red Lake Operations, restoring it as a premier Canadian gold mine. That kind of ambition creates careers, not just jobs.  

When we asked our people what they enjoy most about working at Evolution, two things came up across every site: career growth and the quality of the people. Here, you’ll work alongside people who care, who push one another to be better, with leaders who are there to support you. 

What’s the opportunity? 

We are seeking an experienced Metallurgical Superintendent to join Ernest Henry Operations in a key leadership role within our Processing team. This role will be responsible for leading the site's Metallurgy and Laboratory functions, driving plant performance, technical strategy and operational excellence across the operation.

This is an opportunity to influence copper and gold recovery outcomes, partner closely with operational leaders and contribute to the future success of a large-scale processing operation.

Based at our Ernest Henry Operations and reporting to the Concentrator Manager, you’ll:

• Lead and develop the Metallurgy and Laboratory teams to achieve safe and efficient production outcomes
• Drive plant optimisation through monitoring performance, identifying improvement opportunities and implementing technical solutions
• Deliver metallurgical accounting, forecasting and reporting to support business performance
• Partner with Processing and Maintenance teams to maximise plant reliability, recovery and throughput
• Contribute to budgeting, cost control, strategic planning and metallurgical improvement projects across site.

Why Ernest Henry Operations? 

Ernest Henry is a cornerstone asset in our portfolio. It has high-quality equipment, high standards and great management team. With a mine life to 2040 and doubled ore reserves, there are countless opportunities for people to evolve and give their career an uplift.  

The future here is bright; you could be part of it.

Does this sound like you?  

You are a collaborative and results-driven leader with a strong technical background in metalliferous processing. You enjoy developing people, building strong cross-functional relationships and driving initiatives that improve plant performance and operational outcomes.  Ideally, you’ll also have:
