Job description

An opportunity is available for two experienced Core Yard / Sample Technicians to join an established gold mining operation in Western Australia.

Working on an 8 days on, 6 days off FIFO roster from Perth, approximately 70% of the role will be based in the core yard, with the remaining 30% focused on MOP and toll-treatment sampling at the ROM.

This is a casual contract through to October, with the potential for further work for strong performers.

Key Responsibilities

  • Processing and preparing diamond drill core
  • Core orientation, metre marking, photography and recoveries
  • Magnetic susceptibility, RQD and density measurements
  • Core cutting, sampling and sample preparation
  • RC and diamond drill sample handling
  • Collecting and preparing MOP and toll-treatment samples
  • Completing QA/QC requirements and sample documentation
  • Preparing sample dispatches and maintaining accurate registers
  • Moving, storing and organising sample bags and core trays
  • Maintaining a clean, organised and safe core yard
  • Assisting the geology team with other field or sampling duties as required

About You

You will be practical, physically fit and comfortable working in a hands-on role. You will have strong attention to detail and understand the importance of accurate sampling, labelling and record keeping.

Essential Requirements

  • Previous mine-site core yard or geological sampling experience
  • Experience processing RC and/or diamond drill samples
  • Understanding of sampling procedures and QA/QC requirements
  • Current WA C-class manual driver’s licence
  • Strong safety focus
  • Ability to complete repetitive manual-handling tasks
  • Reliable, team-focused and available for an 8/6 FIFO roster from Perth

Highly Regarded

  • Previous gold mining experience
  • MOP, ROM or toll-treatment sampling experience
  • Core cutting and core orientation experience
  • Forklift or other High Risk Work Licence
  • Experience working in an open-pit mining or exploration environment

This role would suit an experienced Core Yard Technician, Field Assistant, Geological Technician or Sample Preparation Technician seeking a short-term FIFO opportunity with the potential to continue beyond the initial contract.
