Hiring Scientific & Technical Professionals for Mining projects 

In the competitive mining market, it’s your scientific, technical and engineering staff who’ll give you the edge: from exploration to production and export, maximising efficiencies in extraction, refining and processing, meeting environmental standards, and protecting your people and equipment by ensuring attention to detail at every step.

You need a recruitment company who can provide technical staff at all levels, and who are committed to identifying suitably qualified staff for your business priorities. Our consultants have curated exceptionally specialised talent pools to truly understand how to assess the skills your organisation needs, and in particular, candidates who will add value and understand the mining environment. Evolve have got you covered.

Our comprehensive recruitment methodology and experience in the Australian resources industry makes your hiring much faster, easier and economical. From exploration, metallurgical testing, to environmental quality testing and soil and water remediation, we find scientific personnel to enhance the safety and productivity of your project site:

Scientific expertise and candidate reach: Every member of our recruitment team has a scientific background meaning they have an unrivalled understanding of the job roles they recruit for, and a meticulously qualified talent pool. Through years of operation and a partnership with NES Fircroft, we will connect you to deep talent pools on an international level. Our vast talent networks encompass individuals with exceptional environmental experience, metallurgists, chemists, geologists, and scientists of all levels.

Logistics: We care about the people we place; our service goes beyond basic recruitment to incorporate organising candidate assessments, their medical assessments and all practical logistics to ensure smooth onboarding and a safe working environment. 

Speed of service: We understand that the resources sector is highly competitive are here to remove hiring challenges for you and solve your talent needs quicky and efficiently, enabling projects and initiatives to stay on track. Our proven recruitment methodologies and large candidate networks combine for hiring success.

The lifestyle choice: We recognise that remote working locations are not for everyone, and that to pursue a scientific career in mining is a lifestyle choice. We consider the realities of life and this means we are open about the environment and place great importance on qualifying candidates’ soft skills, alongside their technical proficiencies, aiming for longevity in the hire and ultimately, retention, for site stability and workforce harmony.

Consistency in your workforce: The nature of mining work means there’s peaks and troughs which will impact site productivity. Whether we’re dealing with a multinational corporation or a smaller scale mining company, our flexible workforce solutions are equipped to accommodate your needs and maintain your operation.

We understand the blend of scientific technical skillsets and personal drivers needed for mining personnel to thrive in remote mining project sites:

Research

TEAMWORK: We qualify candidates’ soft skills and personal motivations to ensure they’re a good team fit with positive can-do attitudes. They must be willing to share insights and provide strategic and technical advice to co-workers, to make important contributions to the success of your resources programme. Work sites can be isolated, meaning that colleagues are often the people that candidates spend time with outside of their working hours, again making it imperative that our hires know what to expect on a social level and the lifestyle their career will embrace.

EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION: Our mining professionals know that true success in the resources field goes hand in hand with effective cross-team communication. The experts we place know how to present ideas, demonstrate procedures, supervise and liaise with different departments and funding agencies to share knowledge and keep deadlines on track.

HEALTH AND SAFETY: Our talent networks keep up to date with rigorous safety standards, and will pro-actively plan out and action all requirements – from effective use of PPE to maintaining equipment and high level instrumentation - to ensure that your operations remain compliant and safe without jeopardising the project’s output.

PROBLEM-SOLVING: We will secure professionals with experience in collecting, collating and evaluating scientific data to make informed decisions about your operation, and to overcome any technical challenges. Our scientific mining and resources networks understand what it takes to achieve real breakthroughs and exude patience, determination and flexibility in equal measure to drive your project forward.
