About Us:
Welcome to The Perth Mint, where golden career opportunities await.
The Perth Mint is an iconic Western Australian organisation operating on a truly global scale. Situated in East Perth for over 125 years, The Perth Mint is a premier tourist destination, an award-winning exporter, and a key supplier of precious metals to markets throughout the world. Our purpose is ‘to bring the wonder of precious metals to the world’.
There’s no organisation quite like it, with a variety of roles available, from engineers and chemists to artists and technicians.
The Opportunity:
We’re offering an immediate start for a 12-month, full-time opportunity based at our refinery site near Perth Airport. This is a well-rounded role where you’ll sit at the centre of laboratory operations - supporting compliance, documentation, reporting, and day to day coordination.
Working closely with the Fire Assay, R&D, and Instrumentation teams, you’ll coordinate activities to keep the lab running smoothly and efficiently. From managing equipment compliance and maintaining lab documentation through to coordinating samples, reporting results, and supporting procurement and inventory, your work will have a direct impact on the lab’s performance.
It’s a varied, hands-on position suited to someone who enjoys working across both technical and administrative tasks, and takes pride in accuracy and organisation.
About You:
You bring prior laboratory experience, ideally within fire assay or a similar environment, with exposure to analytical instrumentation being highly regarded – in addition, you also bring along the confidence to manage administrative responsibilities alongside technical processes.
You’re highly organised, detail oriented, and understand the importance of compliance in a lab setting. You communicate clearly, build strong working relationships, and collaborate effectively with a range of stakeholders.
You’re proactive, reliable, and take ownership of your work, with a natural ability to keep things running smoothly. Previous administrative experience is advantageous, and a Certificate III in Business Administration is a plus - but your attitude, attention to detail, and team focused mindset are what will set you apart.
