Work in the Mines and Employment

Work in the mines can be a strenuous and physically demanding profession, roles such as trades assistants, labourers, drillers offsider, machinist, fitters and boilermakers can be arduous, even dump truck driving, and plant operating can be a hard with long hours everyday and repetative work.

Having said that the average yearly income for someone with work in the mines is now $90,000 so it is fair to say you are well rewarded for your effort. There a also other positions that are less physical such as, field assistants, administration, housekeeping, cleaning, and catering. So of these are on the mine site and others are in the mining camps where workers stay. If you are considering working in the mines you may want information on:

what jobs you are best suited to
what the minimum requirements are
what licences do you need
what training is required and where can this be done
what jobs you are suited to
the certification that is required.

You may also want to know about FIFO (fly in, fly out) arrangements and what the conditions are like. Whether food and laundry is provided, who pays for the travel, how long the shifts are and how much you will be paid.

We can advise you on all these issues involved with work in the mines, and any other questions you may have. If you are considering working in the mines, then it is important to get the right advice from the start. In these hard economic times the mining industry is one of the few that is still expanding, so it has never been a better time to make the switch.
