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?

As an Apprentice Diesel Fitter, you'll undertake a structured apprenticeship program while learning your trade in a modern underground and surface mining environment.

Working alongside experienced Diesel Fitters and maintenance professionals, you'll gain hands-on experience maintaining, servicing and repairing heavy mining equipment while completing your trade qualification through TAFE.

Throughout your apprenticeship you will learn to

Service, maintain and repair heavy mining equipment and mobile plant

Assist with breakdown repairs and fault finding activities

Perform preventative maintenance and scheduled servicing

Complete component change-outs and equipment inspections

Develop mechanical troubleshooting and problem-solving skills

Work across a diverse fleet of underground and surface equipment

Gain exposure to heavy vehicles and ancillary plant

Complete maintenance documentation and inspection records

Work safely within a large-scale mining operation

Maintain high housekeeping, safety and quality standards

Demonstrate behaviours aligned with Evolution Mining's values of Safety, Excellence, Accountability and Respect

This is an entry-level opportunity designed for people who enjoy working with their hands, have a keen interest in mechanics and are looking to build a long-term career in the mining industry.

Why Mungari Operations?

Mungari is a cornerstone asset in our portfolio, with a mine life to at least 2038. It’s operationally diverse, with opportunities to work on the surface or underground and a great team of people who care. Our recent expansion of the processing plant has more than doubled processing capacity from 2 million to 4.2 million tonnes per year. With open pit and processing all on one site, the operational diversity is ideal for uplifting careers.

This position is based on a 7 day on, 7 day off dayshift only roster, and is residential to Kalgoorlie.

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