Maintenance Services Technician

About the Company

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 the communities in which we operate, champion environmental stewardship, and strengthen local and national economies. Come and be part of our team — a team committed to building a better future. Be known. Be valued. Be recognised.

In Australia we own and manage the Sunrise Dam Gold Mine, and the Tropicana Gold Mine (70% AGA owned 30% Regis Resources).
