Set within a geothermically active, extinct volcanic crater, Lihir operates an open-pit mine producing refractory ore, which undergoes pressure oxidation and conventional leaching to recover gold. Our workforce includes both residential and commute rosters, creating a diverse and dynamic team. Lihir offers a range of recreational facilities, including a gym, sports club, restaurant, bar, swimming pool, tennis and squash courts, and a 9-hole golf course. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the Lihir fishing and boating clubs provide access to pristine waters and beaches, while our onsite deli and café serve fresh local and imported produce, barista-made coffee, and freshly baked goods.</span></div><div> </div><div><span style="font-family:tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12.0pt">We are proud to work closely with the local Lihirian community and value its vibrant culture. Through initiatives like our School to Mine program, we offer meaningful employment, training, and development opportunities for Lihirian men and women, as well as scholarships and vocational apprenticeships. We also partner with the New Ireland Province to ensure economic benefits flow directly to the community, strengthening our commitment to sustainable development and positive local impact.</span></div><p> </p> <div><div style='padding: 10px 0px;border: 1px solid transparent;'><div style='font-size:16px;word-wrap: break-word;'><H5 style='font-size: 1em; margin: 0px'>Purpose</H5> </div><div><p> </p><p><!--StartFragment--><span data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">To support site geological activities and resource optimization through grade control activities, and providing reliable updated geological models of active mining areas to support site planning.</span></p><p> </p></div></div><div style='padding: 10px 0px;border: 1px solid transparent;'><div style='font-size:16px;word-wrap: break-word;'><H5 style='font-size: 1em; margin: 0px'>Essential Duties</H5> </div><div><p> </p><ul style="list-style-type: disc;" data-editing-info="{"applyListStyleFromLevel":true}"><li><div role="presentation"><span data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">Monitor compliance with safety standards during fieldwork and sampling activities</span></div></li><li><div role="presentation">Coordinate sampling activities and GeoMet testwork.</div></li><li><div role="presentation">Assist grade control processes to enhance ore recovery</div></li><li><div role="presentation">Monitor material movements through ore tracking processes</div></li><li><div role="presentation">Support the interpretation of geological data and model updates</div></li><li><div role="presentation">Support the incorporation of sample data into mine planning software for decision-making</div></li><li><div role="presentation">Perform quality checks on geological data to confirm accuracy</div></li><li><div role="presentation">Compile detailed reports on model and production performances.</div></li><li><div role="presentation">Input field data into geological databases or spreadsheets</div></li><li><div role="presentation">Perform quality checks on samples to ensure integrity before analysis</div></li><li><div role="presentation">Assist with managing RC Drilling operations</div></li></ul><p> </p></div></div><div style='padding: 10px 0px;border: 1px solid transparent;'><div style='font-size:16px;word-wrap: break-word;'><H5 style='font-size: 1em; margin: 0px'>Training & Experience</H5> </div><div><p> </p><ul><li><div role="presentation"><span data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">BSc (Hons) or higher degree in Geological / Geosciences</span></div></li><li><div role="presentation">Minimum 3 years industry experience, ideally within different geologic environments</div></li><li><div role="presentation">Experience in working with databases and using acQuire essential</div></li><li><div role="presentation">Experience in the Grade Control process using MineSight.</div></li><li><div role="presentation">Must have demonstrated ability to cross collaborate across departments</div></li><li><div role="presentation">Excellent attention to detail and time management skills to meet deadlines.</div></li><li><div role="presentation">Proficiency in integration of geological and structural datasets for interpretation.</div></li><li><div role="presentation">Foundational understanding of geological and metallurgical data, including the ability to carry out specific activities using appropriate tools and processes to achieve defined business outcomes.</div></li><li><div role="presentation">Competent in risk management and business improvement principles and practices.</div></li><li><div role="presentation">Proficiency with project and/or contract management.</div></li></ul><div> </div><div> </div></div></div><div style='padding: 10px 0px;border: 1px solid transparent;'><div style='font-size:16px;word-wrap: break-word;'><H5 style='font-size: 1em; margin: 0px'>Working Conditions</H5> </div><div><p> </p><div data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">This position is offered on a <strong>21/21- continuous roster on Lihir Island, Papua New Guinea</strong> and is <strong>open to PNG Nationals only</strong>. </div><div>You will join a highly performing Mine Geology team focused on delivering safe, reliable, and sustainable production outcomes while supporting the ongoing growth and success of the Lihir Operation.</div><div> </div></div></div></div> <div><p><span style="font-family:tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12.0pt">At Newmont, our people are our strength and we’re committed to a safe, inclusive and supportive workplace.
