Project Geologist - Resources (Jundee, FIFO Perth)

About the role

Northern Star Resources is looking for a Project Geologist - Resources to join Jundee Operations on an 8 days on, 6 days off roster, FIFO from Perth. Jundee is described as a geology-first mine where resource estimation happens on site, alongside the people who logged, mapped and sampled the ground.

Key responsibilities

• Build and estimate grade-control and development models, covering interpretation, wireframing, compositing, validation and release, with peer and senior technical review.
• Keep geological lead-lag times between drilling, development, modelling and mining short, balancing pace, reliability and rigour.
• Support stope reconciliations to bring models closer to reality.
• Use your position close to the data to spot new targets and follow-up drilling, and help the growth team add value to the orebody.
• Mentor junior geologists in logging, rig management, underground mapping and face sampling.
• Work with planning and drill-and-blast engineers so models are on time and aligned with budget, 3MS and weekly schedules.
• As you gain experience, take on resource models and contribute to annual Resource and Reserve reporting.

Required profile

• Degree in Geology from a recognised tertiary institution.
• Minimum 3 years of practical experience in mining and/or exploration geology; narrow-vein gold experience is highly regarded.
• Experience in geological interpretation and modelling, ideally in the growth and interpretation space.
• Current Western Australian C Class driver's licence.
• Eligibility includes a medical, drug and alcohol screening, right to work and a valid Australian national police clearance.

Required skills

• Working knowledge of Leapfrog and Datamine; exposure to Deswik and acQuire in the mine-geology workflow is well regarded.
• Strong communication, stakeholder management and report-writing skills.

What we offer

• Subsidised health insurance for employees and immediate family, with rebates from 80% to 100%.
• Bonus program with quarterly and annual incentives, and employee share plans with free shares and matched contributions.
• Parental leave, wellbeing support and salary packaging options including novated leasing and FIFO benefits where applicable.
