At Catalyst, geology sits at the core of our operational success. This is an operations-focused role embedded within our underground mine, working closely with mining and technical services to drive safe and predictable production outcomes.
Our deposits are technically complex and require disciplined interpretation, detailed modelling and strong collaboration on the ground. While we operate a consistent underground mining method, variability within our ore bodies demands sharp geological thinking and attention to detail.
