Three mine workers on site

Pat

Senior Mining Engineer

Residential

Highlights

Role highlight

Solving problems together: Every day, my team and I have the opportunity to solve problems in collaboration with a broad range of stakeholders and then see the solutions come to life. I’ve had the chance to play a part in trialling changes to our drill and blast practices to improve wall control, and developed a number of mining plans and sequences that optimise production.

Supportive leaders: My leaders have been supportive of my career growth and have been great to learn from.

Career highlight

Influencing ideas: Since working for Evolution, I have noticed a real culture of striving for continuous improvement. The people and leadership are open to trying new ways of doing things to get a positive result and I have found it much easier here to influence positive change than in previous roles.

Career growth: I feel supported in my career goals since starting here, evidenced by the fact that I have been fortunate enough to have been promoted to Senior Mining Engineer since starting.

Lifestyle highlight

Connected family: Since moving to West Wyalong, my young family has settled in well and established a great routine. I’ve been able to enjoy being home with the kids every night and get involved in some local sport. My wife and I are from NSW originally, so it’s been great to move closer to family and friends and be able to see them more easily.

Chris

Senior Underground Geologist

Residential

Highlights

Career highlight

Project ownership: The definite highlight for me is being a part of the full lifecycle to date of the GRE46 underground project. From the initial drill-out from surface, firing the portal of the exploration decline, expansion through the Galway Decline, to bringing additional drill platforms online, commencement of full-scale mining operations, and firing of the first stope. I’m now leading the underground geology function that is driving the continued expansion of the orebody.

Rare opportunity: There aren’t a lot of opportunities where you can take a project of this scale from drill-out through to full operations in such a short time, and I am proud to have played an important role in this significant Growth project at Cowal and for Evolution as a business.

Lifestyle highlight

Home every night: Working residential allows me to be at home with my wife and three young children. To be home every night and spend each weekend with my family is the most important consideration for me professionally. The ability to live such a lifestyle in West Wyalong while working at Cowal is great.

Susana

People & Culture Advisor

Residential

Highlights

Role highlight

Exposure: In my role I get to partner with different people and departments across the business and learn about their day-to-day processes. I am grateful to be part of a team that wants to succeed and see the business do well.

Career highlight

Diverse experiences: I joined Evolution in 2021 as part of the Graduate Program. I had the opportunity to do a rotation both on site and in our Sydney Office which allowed me to work with a number of people in different departments and make strong networks. Being exposed to a diverse range of experiences and projects within my role has allowed me to continue to develop in my career and has been a huge highlight for me.

Lifestyle highlight

Family connections: Being able to have weekends off to play sport or drive home on my long weekends to see my family has been great.

Kyal

Manager – Operations

Residential

Highlights

Career highlight

Paid parental leave: It was great for me to take three months parental leave after my partner took nine months leave. It allowed her to return to her regular FIFO roster with peace of mind as I was at home with Spencer. Three months with me at home with Spencer every day, maintaining his routines, definitely took away a lot of stress with our family. As primary carer for the first time, my connection with Spencer grew. All of my team were really supportive of me taking parental leave and would regularly check in to see how things were going. I actively encourage anyone who is in the position to take paid parental leave to do so as it’s a special time to bond with your family.

Emily

Senior Environmental Advisor

Fly in/fly out (FIFO)

Highlights

Role highlight

Exposure: My current role has provided exposure to a diverse range of environmental aspects specific to the mining operation within north-west Queensland.

Career highlight

Sustainability values: Evolution’s commitment to sustainability and Net Zero has been a career highlight for me. Seeing the passion Evolution has towards creating a sustainable future is inspiring and motivating. My career has been inspired by Evolution’s sustainability values, as I seek to leave the environment’s future in the best possible hands.

Lifestyle highlight

Balance: Working a FIFO roster has ensured a balance between my working career and my personal wellbeing. I have been able to foster strong work connections whilst making the most of my time away from work. FIFO work has helped my lifestyle by creating opportunities for short, well-deserved adventures during my days off. FIFO has allowed me to experience parts of Queensland that I would never been able to on a 9-5 job!

Chloe

Superintendent – Geology

Residential

Highlights

Role highlight

Rare challenge: The biggest highlight in my role has been planning and executing the diamond drilling program for the mine extension study. This is something a Geologist doesn’t get to do very often in their career, so it has been very exciting to see the great results and progression of the mine due to the work my team has done.

Career highlight

Influencing success: Working for Evolution Mining has been a career highlight because it offers a dynamic and challenging environment where I can leverage my expertise to contribute to the success of a leading mining company.

Lifestyle highlight

Time for fun:I love living residentially as I get to come home each night to my husband and do things I wouldn’t have done if I lived in a big city like dirt biking and lots of camping.

Gill

Business Analysist

Residential

Highlights

Role highlight

See more. Do more: My time at Ernest Henry has been very busy, transitioning from working with an offshore support team and global IT systems to an Australian-based group. Whilst my journey has been challenging, this transition has provided growth opportunities and exposure to end-to-end operations I would otherwise have been isolated from in a larger organisation.

Career highlight

Career growth with flexibility:During my short time with Evolution, I have had the opportunity to progress through three roles and taken an extended period of parental leave. I appreciate the flexibility I was granted on my return to work and the career opportunities I have been provided despite my absence from the business.

Lifestyle highlight

Family connection: Living locally in Cloncurry and having the ability to travel home each day has helped in maintaining a healthy work life balance, particularly with a young family.

Mikaela

Supervisor – Training

Residential

Highlights

Role highlight

Early progression: My biggest highlight at Ernest Henry is that I have been given the opportunity to progress my career as a younger employee.

Career highlight

Multiple opportunities: Working for Evolution has been a career highlight because I have been supported by my department and have had the opportunity to advance through multiple roles to achieve my career goals.

Lifestyle highlight

Staying local: As a local employee, and growing up local, it has been great to find work in the mine and come home every night to my family while still having a rewarding job.

Donal

Senior Mechanical Engineer

Residential

Highlights

Role highlight

Exposure: Highlights working at Ernest Henry have been the exposure to multiple different areas of engineering. From project to maintenance engineering and reliability, if you show initiative and can communicate the added value, no one will say no to an idea or proposal. We also work closely with the maintenance department and the relationship between the engineers and the maintenance crews is one of the best I’ve seen.

Career highlight

Agility: Evolution is a younger and smaller miner, founded in 2011. However, this gives them the flexibility and agility to adapt and have a larger impact in the overall business than can often be achieved in the larger mining operations.

Lifestyle highlight

Flexibility: Working an 8 days on/6 days off roster, where we travel in work time, makes life easy. I really enjoy the work life balance and the work flexibility. Having the option to do a two weeks on and two weeks off roster or work overtime when permitted makes working here very flexible. Additionally, camp is great and probably one of the best I’ve seen.

Chloe

P&C Advisor

Drive in/drive out (DIDO)

Highlights

Role highlight

Culture: The highlights for me have been the community environment, the going above and beyond mentality and living by the company values of Safety, Respect, Excellence and Accountability.

Career highlight

Progression: The progression opportunities and wealth of knowledge that I have learnt during my time here have been a career highlight for me.

Lifestyle highlight

Commute: The Sunshine Coast is an easy commute home on the weekend. Travel to and from work is along really nice country roads.

Erin

Manager – Mining

Drive in/drive out (DIDO)

Highlights

Role highlight

Small site: I like working on a small site with a great culture and friendly colleagues. I feel well supported in my new role and have visibility over a wide range of areas I wouldn’t be exposed to on a larger site.

Career highlight

Accountability: Evolution has given me growth opportunities and development I didn’t receive at my previous employer. They provide a very open and transparent way of allowing people to act like owners in terms of managing their own budgets and team.  This isn’t always possible in larger companies and definitely drives a culture of accountability and self-sufficiency.

Lifestyle highlight

Home on weekends: Doing DIDO is great for me to be able to work on site but still be home on the weekends and have the creature comforts of my place in the city. This is relatively rare in the mining industry.

Rhonda

Senior Administrator – Site

Residential

Highlights

Role highlight

Relationships: Working at a small site encourages closer working relationships and forges lifelong friendships. My role is diverse and different every day which keeps it fresh and challenging.

Career highlight

Variety: I have had a variety of positions under the admin banner. All have been different and unique, and I’ve enjoyed them all.

Lifestyle highlight

Family time: There’s no wasted time with travel and I’m at home every night with my family.

Guy

Manager – Processing

Residential

Highlights

Role highlight

Opportunities: I have had some great opportunities in my time here. Mungari 4.2 will be a real game changer and it’s very exciting to be part of it.

Career highlight

Progression: I started as a contract electrician at Frogs Leg in 2008, signed over in 2011 and have had the opportunity to move through more senior roles. Before my current role, I was Superintendent Electrical for the underground maintenance team. This new role is a whole new learning for me and it’s an exciting challenge.

Lifestyle highlight

Family connection: Going home to my family every night is great.

Shane

Manager – Operations

Residential

Highlights

Role highlight

Influencing change: I enjoy leading a team through change. As the previous Processing Manager, we were able to debottleneck the plant to achieve 2 Mtpa throughput (plant design of 1.5 Mtpa) by instigating 100s of small improvements. Now, as the new Operations Manager, I am looking forward to leading my new team through change with 100s of small things.

Career highlight

Renewed passion: My previous employment was as an overseas expat. There were many elements of that role that I did not enjoy and had started to lose my passion for work. Being with Evolution has allowed me to rekindle my passion for what I do while being a change agent for Mungari.

Lifestyle highlight

Changing pace: I was FIFO for 4 years and moved my family to Kalgoorlie about 8 months ago. FIFO allowed my family to be stable while our kids finished their schooling. Now that the kids have left home, my wife and I are both enjoying living together full-time for the first time in over a decade and enjoy getting involved in the local Kalgoorlie community.

Erica

Superintendent – People & Culture

Fly in/fly out (FIFO)

Highlights

Role highlight

Diverse operations: I really like that Mungari has both open pit and underground operations. It’s different to anywhere I’ve worked in the past in terms of how spread out and vast the assets are. The learning experience since commencing has been immense and, for someone like me who loves a challenge, it’s the place to be!

Career highlight

Stepping up: Evolution gave me the opportunity to step up into the Superintendent role and test my skills. The Superintendents I used to look after have been very supportive. They encouraged me to take on the role and provide great guidance on how to do well. Although I have only been with Evolution for a year, I feel that there have been solid relationships built, and the laughs and shared successes (as well as the not so fun parts of work) will push us forward to achieve greater things.

Living highlight

Best of both worlds: Although I work FIFO, with Mungari operations being between Kalgoorlie and Coolgardie, I do feel that I get the best of both worlds. I enjoy FIFO as I get to focus wholly on work when I am on site. I like that Mungari has a mix of residential and FIFO – it makes for a unique working experience.

Adam

Superintendent – Underground

Residential

Highlights

Role highlight

Trust and autonomy: Being able to work autonomously and having the backing of management provides a great working experience. I work with a dynamic range of people from our People & Culture team right down to maintenance. Everyone here at Evolution strives to improve on a daily basis and it is a truly dynamic team. It really is a great opportunity to be a part of our team at Mungari.

Career highlight

New start: A career highlight for me was the opportunity to restart an old mine on care and maintenance with very minimal resources and watching it grow, slowly but surely, reaching production targets as new areas opened up. It has also been rewarding watching the new starters come in and begin their mining careers with us.

Quality teams: Working with friendly and helpful Tech, People & Culture, Maintenance and Electrical teams makes it so much easier to run a mine!

Benefits: Great benefits such as a quarterly bonus, leave and an all-round competitive remuneration package.

Jojo

Superintendent – Training & Security

Residential

Highlights

Role highlight

Building teams: A highlight for me is building towards a high-performing team, developing processes and delivering site programs.

Career highlight

All round experience: Working at Evolution has been an excellent experience for me. It has allowed me to enhance my skills, learn new things, and grow professionally and personally. I am proud of what I have accomplished here and I look forward to continuing to contribute to Red Lake’s success.

Lifestyle highlight

Local focus: Living in Red Lake has enabled me to concentrate on my work, pursue my outdoor hobbies and reduce travel.

Justine

Sustainability Administrator

Residential

Highlights

Role highlight

People and variety: I really enjoy the people I work with and how welcoming they are to new employees. I also enjoy the wide variety of work – no day is the same.

Career highlight

Growing confidence: Working at Evolution has given me a chance to learn more about the Mining industry and step outside of my comfort zone. It has been a very positive experience so far!

Living highlight

Family connection: Living local allows more time for family activities as I have more flexibility for staying later in the shift.

Tresor

Rock Mechanics Specialist

Residential

Highlights

Role highlight

People matter: I like the focus given on humans and the foremost importance given to family matters. I feel trusted and not pressurized by management am (although having sometimes difficulties to communicate properly, English being my second language).

Career growth: I like the exposition and effort to train people so that they grow and become more confident and accountable.

Career highlight

Career opportunity: Evolution has given me an international career opportunity. I have been exposed to complex and challenging working environments (high-stress mining, high seismicity) which is forging another facet in my career that I didn’t have, and I have yet to reach my full potential.

Living highlight

Prioritising family: Having worked seven years on a FIFO in my previous role, I was seeking a better lifestyle spending daily time with my family, strengthening the family bond and being available every day for my children. Being a family man, I am happier and more balanced working residential.

Carol

Principal Geotechnical Engineer (UG)

Sydney

Highlights

Role highlight

Site visits: I have particularly enjoyed visiting the sites, meeting the Geotech teams and continuing to build relationships with all the Geotechs though MS Teams catchups. We have hard working, good people in our Geotech teams whose range of experience is invaluable to Evolution.

Career highlight

Influence: Evolution has given me the platform to positively influence new Geotechs coming into mining as well as be the “outside looking in” and identifying potential for optimisation and innovation at our operations. This is a huge responsibility and I appreciate the challenge.

Lifestyle highlight

Flexibility: The flexible work arrangement has allowed me to have the best of all worlds. I chat to sites daily, visit them often, and we meet with the rest of the T&E in Sydney every month. This means I can be home with my child while my husband works a FIFO roster. My manager is very accommodating and understanding which makes me value this opportunity even more.

Nausheen

Collaboration Analyst

Sydney

Highlights

Role highlight

Broader team: Being involved in the Implementation of the document control system is definitely a highlight. Beyond the technical implementation, the opportunity to visit all our sites and to engage with amazing people in the business is an enriching experience.

Career highlight

Influence: Leading business improvement and automation projects has been an enlightening journey, focusing not just on technical aspects but also on understanding and addressing the human side of change – a continuous learning experience. Contributing to enhanced business processes and automation has been personally fulfilling, showcasing tangible improvements in efficiency and productivity.

Recognition: A career highlight has been the recognition and encouragement from Evolution Mining, validating dedication and serving as motivation to strive for ongoing excellence.

Lifestyle highlight

Home away from home: Migrating to Australia was a significant life change and Evolution Mining played an unexpectedly heart warming role. It became more than a workplace. It became a supportive community – a place where I found not just colleagues but friends during a time when I needed it the most.

Charmaine

Lead Indigenous Relations & Community Partnerships

Sydney

Highlights

Career highlight

My 8 years with Evolution have been full of lots of different personal and professional development opportunities and I’ve been able to progress my career while raising two children. The biggest highlight for me was when I was working onsite and the opportunity to develop personally. I had some great managers that recognised my natural leadership attributes and encouraged me to develop these qualities. It was rewarding working in a leadership role and being in a position to offer development opportunities to my team.
