Shift Boss - Underground Mining Operator

About the Role

With multiple new mining areas coming online across the Plutonic Gold Belt, there has never been a better time to join Catalyst Metals. As a Mining Supervisor, you'll play a key role in leading crews, delivering safe and productive outcomes, and supporting the continued growth of our underground operations.

This opportunity offers genuine variety. You may work as Shift Boss at our main underground operation, or across our satellite deposits where you'll be part of a smaller, tight-knit team and take a more hands-on approach to leadership. In these environments, you'll guide your crew, fulfil your statutory responsibilities, and step in where needed to keep operations moving safely and efficiently.

As we continue to grow across the belt, you'll have the opportunity to influence how we operate, mentor developing team members and help build capable, high-performing crews. Backed by long-term job security and genuine progression pathways, this is an opportunity to develop your leadership capability within a growing Australian gold producer.
