Whether it be a long term career that you already have your eye on, or are undecided on the long term direction your career will take, IGO has a huge amount of opportunities available to its staff. I have had a fairly long working career. It has taking me in a few different directions in which I have worked in privately owned business's as well as one of Australia's biggest companies. Never have I seen the opportunities as well as the support to ensure our staff get the best possible opportunity to achieve the working goal. I am a living testament to this.

What do you like about your job and the company?

With exploration at IGO we have areas all over Australia which are of interest to us for possible future resources that go hand in hand with the company vision. To take this further we must investigate thoroughly. With my role this means my work is required and various locations and with various Traditional Owner groups as well as Land owners. It is a great way to see our state, and hopefully country. Also as mentioned my role has various facets which include administrative work, map design and creation, permits and documentation, as well as more labor intensive work such as drill core sample processing and logistics. Every day is different and brings its own form of satisfaction to the role.

Greatest achievements

In 2021 I was lucky enough to win the spirit award for IGO. This is for the staff member that lives by the IGO values. Basically a good person who values others and basically does the right thing. A good bloke I suppose. I still remember the night and how humbled I was on the announcement. That night I made a speech totally unplanned. It was easy. Honestly IGO brought the best out in me and all I did was thank them for that. I am so proud of that award and that night, but also how it has given me the oppportiunity to pass on my experiences to others, including new recruits to our company.

IGO is a values based organisation and throughout our recruitment process we will be looking at how you align to those values. When applying to IGO try to demonstrate this in your resume and cover letter, stand out from the crowd! When applying to IGO it is equally as important for you to get to know us as much as we would like to get to know you. If you are selected for an interview do some research on IGO and be inquisitive by asking questions that demonstrate your current knowledge of IGO.
