Belong at AngloGold Ashanti Australia and make gold a part of your story. A story of exploring, mining, and processing one of the world’s most sought-after precious metals.
What we do goes beyond mining. We support communities in which we operate, championing environmental stewardship, and strengthen local and national economies. Come and be a part of our team, a team committed to building a better future. Be known. Be valued. Be recognised.
About Us
At AngloGold Ashanti, we pride ourselves on having a collaborative workplace that is focused on providing a safe and inclusive environment for all. We want to create an environment where people feel comfortable to bring their whole, authentic self to work and feel safe, respected, and valued while doing so.
AngloGold Ashanti is one of the world's largest gold producers with operations and projects spanning across four continents. Our globally diverse, world-class portfolio is supported by focused exploration in the established and new gold producing regions of the world. We offer a working environment that allows every employee to contribute, learn and flourish.
In Australia we own and manage the Sunrise Dam Gold Mine, and the Tropicana Gold Mine (70% AGA owned 30% Regis Resources). These are two of Western Australia’s premier gold operations, with ongoing investment and exploration taking place across both open pit and underground operations at each site.
The Opportunity
At AGA, we celebrate diversity – diversity of thought and experience is important to us. We look for people that have an abundance of willingness and are up to the challenge of making a difference.
With this in mind, if you feel that you may not tick all of the boxes below but believe you have something unique to contribute to our team, we strongly encourage you to apply – let’s have the conversation.
Enjoy working outdoors and feel more at home in steel caps? Sometimes, the best kind of office comes with open skies.
In this Geology Technician role, you’ll spend your days out in the field and the core yard. You’ll be out in the elements, working hard and getting hands-on with moving, digging, sampling, and exploring open pits, along with some drill rig work.
It can be physically demanding, but if you prefer hard work over a desk job, this is your kind of opportunity.
You won’t be thrown in the deep end. This team is packed with experienced geos and techs who remember what it’s like to start out. Plus, you’ll be backed by your Geology Services Supervisor, who’s there to make sure you’ve got what you need to do your job safely and well.
Out here, it’s not just rocks that tell a story. Your colleagues will, too. You’ll be part of a diverse, multicultural team where everyone’s background is celebrated. There’s always something new to learn (or taste). Lunch breaks can be a world tour. It’s a crew that values respect, good food, and looking out for each other.
You’ll be based at the Sunrise Dam Gold Mine on an 8/6 FIFO roster with direct flights from Perth and Kalgoorlie.
