Hey guys, i work in a remote gold mine near central aus. We do 2 wks on, 1 wk off. 7 nights, shift change, 7days then time off. Employer is Newmont. I got a job as an underground pump fitter, no mining experience. Im on a lower bracket pay and i earn 125 000+, get yearly bonus of 5.5%, full family cover private health provided, plus an allowance for living in NT of 6 000 per year, 25 days annual leave per year. But we do work 12 hour days plus 30 min travel to and from the site each day, food and rooms supplied. My fiance also got a job as an underground truck driver with a car lisence and no previous experience. At the moment, they are chasing a number of jobs including underground truck drivers, auto electritions, diesel fitters, car mechanics etc. Look up Newmont.com and the site is called Callie Gold Mine (also known as The Granites), people sometimes use this place to get experience in the mines because they hire alot of 'green people'. Jobs are FIFO from Darwin, Alice Springs and Perth. Sometimes they will fly you in from alot of other places, depends how much they need the position filled.

Yea they say they want 12 months experience but they cant get it because there are too many mines looking for people at the moment. Ill see if i can find a number for HR.

im currently driving trucks at Eaglefields Mine near Glenden, little on pit operation, i was a clean skin just over a year ago, got in through a mate, accommodation is a big factor, if you have accommodation in a town like Moranbah, Dysart, Middlemount, Tieri or even Emerald you will find it easier to get it becuase mines or labour hire dont want to pay accommodation for Clean Skins.
im only doing it for the money working away from family sucks, im currently doing 7 on 7 off which isnt too bad.

Listening to you guys that say theres loads of work in the mines, there may be but the only way to get a job is who you know, im a drillers offsider up north and i have hr and all this other stuff and for the life of me i cant even drive dump trucks coz i dont have experience.
How the hell can i get experience if i cant get a job. its harder than you think to go to the mines. |

All my experience in the past counts for nil apparently.. while i am typing this i received 2 calls both being very honest about my chances from being out of the industry for so long .. also the induction course i just signed up which came into effect on the 1/7/11 may not be as helpful as first thought as i need to get my logbook filled out on site .. hmm ..need a job to get the book filled out cant go on site without a filled out and signed off book !! I will keep those interested updated because if i can get back in, then anyone can .. but it takes signing up at a lot of different sites and companies and i'm still not sure at my age if i ever will get that type of job again? |

My father is the Surface Operations Manager at the largest coal producer in QLD(Oaky Creek Coal) and I could have a job there in a heartbeat, but there is that self satisfaction you get from working for what you achieve in life without expecting someone to just give you a start. |

The O&K name disappeared when Terex bought into the equation.
The site I work at bought 3 new RH200HD face shovels and 6 MTU4400 trucks in 1999. The diggers were labelled Terex back then and all parts carried the Terex branding. No O&K name in site.
