Mining - Operations (Mining, Resources & Energy)
Full time
Mineral Mining Services are a privately owned, WA based contract miner. Our clients include small cap gold miners (ASX and privately owned) and a select few tier one non-gold owner operator miners.
Our growth has been significant and has been achieved by delivering results that our clients are proud of and can rely upon. Our offering includes turn-key project delivery with plant, operators, administration, engineers, geologists and project management. We are not a wet/dry hire plant provider, we are miners.
We are looking to add to our Technical Services team with the addition of a Mine Geologist. This role will be offered on an 8/6 FIFO from Perth or DIDO from Kalgoorlie roster.
About the Role As a Mine Geologist, you will play a pivotal role in supporting the geological operations of our mining projects, ensuring adherence to safety protocols and operational efficiencies.
Reporting to the Senior Mine Geologist, you will join a dynamic mining team driven by passion and dedication.
Responsibilities: Assist in providing geological guidance and support during drill and blast operations to optimise ore recovery. Participate in geological mapping, sampling, and data interpretation to support mine planning and production activities. Collaborate closely with mine engineering and operations teams to contribute to short and long-term mine plans aimed at maximising ore recovery and minimising dilution. Support ore grade control processes and assist in implementing strategies to maintain grade quality and optimise mill feed. Participate in regular geological audits and reviews to identify opportunities for process improvements in mining practices. Receive mentorship and guidance from senior geologists and contribute to the development of junior geologists and technicians. Assist in ore and geological interpretation, including wireframing based on drilling and mapping results. Participate in grade estimation and modelling tasks, gaining exposure to geostatistical techniques. Qualifications and Experience: Bachelor's degree in Geology or a related field. Some experience in production open-pit mining is preferred, with exposure to gold deposits being advantageous. Familiarity with geological modelling software is desirable (e.g., Surpac, Vulcan). Basic understanding of grade control, ore reconciliation, and resource estimation concepts. Effective communication skills and the ability to collaborate within multidisciplinary teams. Demonstrated commitment to safety, environmental responsibility, and ethical conduct. MMS offers competitive salaries, opportunities for professional growth, a collaborative work environment, and promotes a healthy work/life balance.
