When people think gold, they generally think of jewellery or as a store of wealth. But gold is so much more. Gold has made its mark on the world. This precious metal has helped to power the first steps into space and unlock the extraordinary by wiring the internet and mobile phones and connecting the world.

Where there’s gold, there’s innovation. And at Newcrest, you’re encouraged to discover what’s possible and unleash your full potential to make your mark.

With Newcrest, you get to discover why and channel your energy, ideas, and enthusiasm towards achieving outcomes that help shape the world we live in today. At Newcrest, we’re not just a run-of-the-mill mining company; we do much more than simply find and extract gold (although we’re proud to say that we’re pretty good at that!).

We’re a passionate bunch of explorers, thought leaders, innovators, collaborators, and problem-solvers, with an attitude that’s all about the can-do. We believe that 1+1 should always equal greater than 2, which is why we relish a challenge to push the boundaries and achieve the impossible for a brighter future.
