Job Description:

🌟 Exploration Geologist & Project Geologist — Build the Foundations of Victoria's Next Gold Discovery
Monday – Friday or 8:6 Roster | Kilmore & Sunday Creek, VIC
2 Year Fixed Term Contract | Exploration Team | Start ASAP
 
We're growing our geology team at the Sunday Creek Gold Project and have opportunities for both Exploration Geologists and Project Geologists to help shape the discovery story from the ground up.
 
Why SXGC?
Because your work here matters.
Sunday Creek is one of the most exciting new gold discoveries in Australia, and you'll be part of the team turning drill results into a genuine mine of the future.

About the Role:

These roles sit within our Exploration team at Sunday Creek, Kilmore. The Exploration Geologist focuses on diamond core logging, drill program support and target generation, while the Project Geologist takes day-to-day carriage of the project — coordinating field programs, managing budgets and mentoring junior geologists. Both roles are hands-on, technical and central to how we grow the discovery.
