A rewarding and enriching experience via a variety of career options, within multiple operation platforms, including open pits and underground mines across various locations, can be part of your Gold Fields’ future
We welcome employment interest at our corporate office located in Perth’s CBD.
By choosing a career with Gold Fields, you are not only investing in your future but paving the way to opportunities to grow and develop skills across our many operations.
The career development of our employees is a priority. During the recruitment process, internal candidates are given priority consideration and hence, we will always seek to fill positions internally wherever we can.
We are proud to offer industry competitive salaries and an array of employee benefits including:
Site Allowance
If you work a fully site based or residential roster you are entitled to a taxable Site Allowance of 6% of your base salary. This is paid monthly and continued while you are on paid leave (but not unpaid leave), and it attracts superannuation. It ends upon taking up a Perth based role, and is capped at $12,000 for D+ Band employees.
Health Insurance Allowance
All permanent employees are eligible for a fixed Private Health Insurance Allowance upon provision of proof of Private Health Insurance membership. Different allowances are offered to couples/families and singles.
Paid Parental & Partner Leave
We offer a competitive 18-week Paid Parental Leave cover to the primary caregiver upon the birth or adoption of a child. Furthermore, Gold Fields offers six weeks of paid secondary parental leave for the employee who is not the primary caregiver of a new born or newly adopted child.
Performance Bonus
Generous annual or quarterly bonuses are available depending on the employee’s position, in addition to individual and company performance.
Long Term Cash Incentive Plan
Senior management employees are eligible and payment is based on corporate conditions being met.
Employee Referral Reward Program
A $10,000 referral bonus is paid to employees who introduce Gold Fields to a candidate who fills a permanent position at any of our Australian locations, and has worked with us for six months.

Your future is protected with income protection insurance providing 75 per cent of your gross income for up to two years and life cover of one year’s salary.
