Principal Geologist

My client is currently looking for a Principal Geologist to join their team on a permanent basis. This is a Brisbane based role, located in their CBD offices and will require occasional travel (about 20% of your time).

This role is suitable for someone with relevant tertiary qualifications (i.e. Mining or Geology) obtained from a recognised University, demonstrated knowledge of Vulcan and Minex, as well as general computer skills in Visio, Word and Excel. A demonstrated knowledge of design and modelling programs will also be viewed very favourably.

Ideally, the majority of your experience will be Australian based; but you may also have experience gained in Indonesia and China etc in either Open Cut or Underground Mining (Coal). The successful candidate will have proven leadership capabilities and must be able to sigh off on reserve estimates.

As Principal Geologist you will report to both the Brisbane manager as well as the Managing Director. You will initially be directly responsible for 2 people, but the number of subordinates will increase as you develop your team and the number of projects under your control.


What you need:

• Relevant degree in Geology or Mining related discipline
• Approximately 8 -10+ years experience in a similar role
• Open Cut or Underground Mining experience

What’s in it for you?

• Competitive remuneration
• Work in Brisbane’s bustling CBD
• International travel opportunities
• High performance will be rewarded accordingly
• Supportive and professional workplace environment
• Good work / home life balance offered
• A permanent and stable job opportunity in a volatile market
• ASAP start available
