About the Role

Help shape Evolution's next generation of discoveries.

Reporting to the General Manager Exploration, you will play the lead role in identifying, assessing and progressing gold and copper opportunities across Australia and North America.

This is not a traditional exploration role. Your focus will be on identifying new opportunities, evaluating projects and helping build Evolution's future discovery pipeline.

Working closely with discovery and corporate development teams, you'll combine geological insight and commercial thinking to identify opportunities, build support behind them and turn ideas into action.

You are joining Evolution at a time of strong exploration momentum, backed by significant investment, together with an active project pipeline and a business committed to growth through discovery.

About You

You're an accomplished exploration geologist with a passion for discovery and a proven ability to identify and progress opportunities.

You have a strong exploration foundation and understand what it takes to move a concept from opportunity through targeting, drilling and execution.

Curious and commercially minded, you're able to recognise potential where others may not. You know how to build relationships and networks, influence stakeholders and bring support behind quality opportunities.

You'll bring

• A strong exploration geology background, including experience designing and executing exploration programs.
• Experience identifying, evaluating and progressing new exploration opportunities.
• Technical due diligence experience for exploration and operational opportunities
• Knowledge of Australian and/or North American geological terrains and mineral districts.
• Exposure to gold and copper mineral systems.
• Strong commercial awareness and stakeholder engagement skills.
• The ability to influence outcomes and progress opportunities from concept to execution.

Your Benefits

• Relocation support assistance
• Novated car leasing
• Life insurance and income protection
• Short-term incentives
• Referral bonuses
• Recognition programs
• Study assistance
• Discounted health insurance and wellness days

This role can be based in Sydney or Brisbane, with flexibility available and regular engagement across our Australian and North American operations.

We understand that flexible work means something different to everyone and encourage you to have a conversation about the options available.

At Evolution, as our name suggests, change and transformation is in our DNA. We want the Evolution experience to be your career highlight. We are an equal opportunity employer committed to creating a more inclusive and diverse workforce that represents the communities in which we operate.

Why Evolution?

Exploration is central to our future.

If you're an exploration geologist who wants to help identify the next generation of gold and copper opportunities, work across Australia and North America, and be part of a business with the appetite and backing to act on great ideas, we'd love to hear from you.
