About the Role

The true value in Aeris comes from two things: people and rocks.

We’ve got the rocks covered but we’re looking for one more incredible person to join the team based in our Brisbane Office as a Principal Resource Geologist.

The Nitty Gritty

Reporting to the Executive General Manager Geology (EGMG) you will be working closely with our Exploration, Mine Geology, and Technical Services teams across all Aeris operations. This senior technical leadership role is responsible for the integrity, governance, and strategic management of Aeris' Mineral Resources and Grade Control models. The role provides authoritative technical guidance to the business on all resource geology matters, supporting Life of Asset planning, growth initiatives, and key investment decisions.

The position ensures Mineral Resource estimates are prepared, reviewed, and reported in accordance with the JORC Code, internal standards, and ASX continuous disclosure requirements, and where appointed, the role holder acts as Competent Person for Mineral Resource statements.

What you Bring:

  • Tertiary qualifications in Geology with significant experience in the mining and exploration industry, with proficiency in Vulcan or equivalent 3D modelling software.
  • A demonstrated track record of signing off JORC-compliant Mineral Resource statements and delivering accurate, defensible, and audit-ready Mineral Resource estimates, evidenced through successful external audits, or peer reviews.
  • Strong technical leadership qualities, including the ability to set clear expectations, review and sign off on the work of site geology teams, and hold others accountable for data quality, model input standards without direct line authority.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with demonstrated ability to present complex resource geology assessments, studies and findings clearly to senior leadership, Boards, investors, and external auditors.
  • Ability and willingness to travel to successfully meet and manage the needs of the business’s key internal and external stakeholders.
  • Current and valid manual unrestricted driver’s licence.

What we offer:

  • Competitive Salary Package: reviewed Annually
  • Short Term Incentive Program: reviewed Annually
  • Family friendly roster : Mon to Fri, 8 hour days (Flexible work arrangements)
  • Convenient central Brisbane City Location: easy access to all public transport.
  • Leave policies for everybody: Our teams have options to swap public holidays, purchase additional leave, take career breaks and more.
  • Parental leave for all types of families: Our paid parental leave is available to all part-time and full-time Aeris employees who have become parents through birth, surrogacy or adoption – and it can be shared between both parents, regardless of gender.
  • Serious support for mental health: All Aeris employees and their families have access to free and confidential counselling services via our Employee Assistance Program.
  • Partners that give you more: Our teams have discounts and benefits with private health insurance, salary packaging options, travel services and more.
  • A stellar safety record: We work safely and make sure our workmates do the same. We are always looking for better ways to improve physical and psychosocial safety for our people.
  • Respect for you (the real you!): Our Workplace of Respect Policy is more than words on a page. We respect and care for one another, and step in and speak up for our teammates.
