Who we are
We're a bold team with a bright future; and we're looking for people who want to be part of it. Evolution Mining is a premier global gold company operating six mines across Australia and Canada. We're transforming mines and uplifting careers. We've extended the mine life of our Ernest Henry Operations to 2040 and doubled its ore reserves. That kind of ambition creates careers, not just jobs. When we asked our people what they enjoy most about working at Evolution, two things came up across every site: career growth and the quality of the people. Here, you'll work alongside people who care, who push one another to be better, with leaders who are there to support you.
