Who are we?

 

Liontown Limited (ASX: LTR) is an emerging leader in Australia's battery minerals sector. Following our recent capital raise, we are in a strong position as we transition into full production ramp-up at our flagship Kathleen Valley Lithium Operation. With a 20+ year mine life, state-of-the-art processing facilities and a passionate team, this is a rare opportunity to join a business that is building a globally significant lithium operation.

 

The Opportunity

 

We are seeking Graduate Geologists to join our expanding geology team at Kathleen Valley. Reporting to the Senior Geologist, this role is ideal for a motivated geologist looking to take ownership of the planning and execution of underground diamond drilling programs, contribute to the development of grade control and structural models, and deliver cross-functional technical projects within an operating mine environment.

 

This position will be offered as a full-time, permanent opportunity based at our Kathleen Valley Lithium Operation on an 8:6 fly-in fly-out (FIFO) roster from Perth.

 

This is a great opportunity to build your career in a technically rich, low-waste, high-grade underground environment. This is a key role in a growing team at a defining moment for Kathleen Valley to help shape what this operation becomes.

 

What You'll Be Doing

 

  • Rotate through Project Geologist, Underground Mining Geologist and Geology Technician functions to build strong foundational ore body knowledge
  • Complete wider rotations through processing and engineering to understand the full mine value chain

  • Assist with drill design peer review, sample collection and database/QA-QC standards under the guidance of Project and Senior Geologists
  • Gain exposure to ore control and geometallurgy, including ROM/crusher feed planning, ore-waste designation and underground and surface stockpile management
  • Support production delivery by helping prepare Stope Notes, paste notes, block notes and Mining Instructions (MIs), and assist with stope inspections
  • Enter sampling data into the database accurately and help validate daily material movement and production tracking data
  • Contribute to reporting and reconciliation, including stope note reconciliations and QA/QC processes, escalating discrepancies as needed
  • Help identify and manage risks to improve the reliability and quality of the grade control process and contribute ideas for continuous improvement

 

What We're Looking For

 

  • Tertiary qualification in Geology or Earth Sciences (graduated within the past 2 years)
  • Some familiarity with tools, instruments or software relevant to your discipline, whether gained through study, internships or coursework
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively within a multidisciplinary mining team
  • Prior site experience or internships in a mining environment highly regarded, though not essential
