About the Role

Reporting to the GM New Ventures & Portfolio, you’ll apply your extensive geological and geophysical expertise to evaluate plays, prospects, and leads, guide work programs and provide clear, commercially grounded recommendations to senior leaders and joint venture partners.

You’ll operate as a senior technical authority, ensuring subsurface inputs, reserves estimates, well proposals and development plan, while collaborating closely with multidisciplinary teams across the business.

This is an opportunity for a highly experienced geoscientist to have real impact on strategy, capital allocation, and value creation, while also mentoring and uplifting capability across the geoscience group.

Key responsibilities include:

• Provide senior technical input into the generation, evaluation and ranking of exploration plays, prospects and leads.
• Oversee subsurface projects across exploration, appraisal and development activities, ensuring technical integrity and commercial robustness.
• Recommend drilling, seismic and geological work programs to senior management and joint venture partners.
• Provide reserves estimates, prospect evaluations and field development plans to support effective capital allocation.
• Review and assure well proposals, and support drilling operations through peer review and ongoing technical oversight.
• Evaluate opportunities across new ventures, gazettals, farm-ins and farm-outs to enhance Beach’s portfolio.
• Represent Beach in joint venture technical forums, managing peer review processes and stakeholder engagement.
• Contribute to the continuous capture, quality and stewardship of subsurface data and technical workflows.
• Mentor and coach geoscientists, leading by example and fostering strong technical rigour and collaboration.

About you

We’re looking for a senior geoscientist who combines deep technical credibility with strong commercial judgement and influence.

You’ll bring:

• Significant experience as a geoscientist, with a strong track record of exploration success at basin, play or prospect scale.
• Demonstrable experience across multiple Australasian sedimentary basins and a strong understanding of petroleum systems.
• Advanced seismic interpretation and prospect evaluation capability, including DHI analysis and integrated subsurface interpretation.
• Experience integrating geological, geophysical and remote-sensing datasets to inform exploration and development decisions.
• Exposure to development planning and production activities (advantageous).
• Proven ability to work across multidisciplinary teams and engage effectively with senior stakeholders.
• The confidence and maturity to operate as a technical authority, mentor others, and influence strategic outcomes.
