Full Job Description

2026-27 Summer Vacation Program

Join Northern Star, where your contribution is valued, your development is supported, and your career can thrive.

Your next move starts here.

Hands-on industry experience – Put your studies into practice with real projects, practical experience and exposure to operating mine sites.
Learn from industry experts – Work alongside experienced professionals who will support your development and give you insight into what a career in mining can look like.
Build your career – Gain valuable experience and the opportunity to build connections that could lead to a Graduate position with one of Australia’s leading gold producers.

Take the first step towards a rewarding career and build your future with Northern Star Resources.

If you are a second or penultimate year student studying Environmental Science with a keen interest to work in the mining industry and would like to build a career that’s as rewarding as it is impactful. We strongly encourage you to apply.

At Northern Star, you will join Australia’s leading gold producer with a team that is built on performance, growth and world-class gold assets. From day one, you will help to contribute to meaningful work and gain exposure to large scale projects and industry leading practices.

Our 12-week Summer Vacation Program has been designed to set you up for long-term success. Through hands-on placements, real projects and dedicated support from experienced mentors, you will develop the practical skills and confidence needed to thrive — all while earning as you learn.

We see all our Vacation Students as our future Graduates, which is why we invest in your development, value your ideas and create a genuine pathway for you to grow within our business and across the broader mining industry.

What you can look forward to:

As a Northern Star Vacation Student, you'll play a key role in supporting our operations by working alongside some of the best mining experts in the industry to gain real, hands-on exposure to your field.

You'll gain practical experience putting your studies into action, with site-based placements available across Open Pit, Underground or Exploration, and the choice between Fly-in Fly-out (FIFO) and residential roles across multiple operations.

Our program offers practical exposure to modern mining operations in a live, real-time environment, giving you the foundation to build strong technical capabilities for a successful career.

As part of our Vacation Program, you will have:

Paid, first-hand practical work experience at multiple sites, with residential and FIFO roles on offer
The choice between Underground, Open Pit or Exploration opportunities
Professional mentoring from industry-leading mining experts
A fast-tracked pathway to our Graduate Program once you complete your studies
Opportunities for ongoing employment throughout the year

Our Recruitment Process:

Kick things off by submitting your resume online through our Graduate & Vacation Student Careers page. From there, we'll review your application and invite shortlisted candidates to interview with Managers from the relevant department. If you're successful, a member of our Future Talent team will be in touch to organise your pre-employment checks and get the onboarding process underway.

About Northern Star Resources:

Northern Star Resources is an ASX 20, global-scale gold producer with a strong track record of operational excellence and sustainable growth. We own and operate three high-quality production centres, alongside a development project and active exploration programs across Western Australia and Alaska.

At Northern Star, we are committed to creating meaningful career opportunities. We offer genuine pathways for career progression, supported by ongoing development and on-the-job training delivered by experienced industry leaders. Our STARR Core Values
