How many of you guys have accommodations for free and when you work FIFO or remote is housing and food free?

How would a person go about selling a stockpile of construction sand or aggregates which are stockpiled at a mine-site?

Researching quarries, on the sales & marketing side (not gold/copper).

For Australia would there be a market/tender website to sell it on, is it necessary to build 1:1 relationships at trade-shows/networking events? etc.

The typical answer is "it's easy", however that skips the explanation of where do I list it and how do I find prospective buyers.

Context:
Work in big mining, thinking of going out on my own. The mining/processing/administration/securing funds is straightforward enough. I have zero clarity how and where someone goes about on the sales and marketing side for these products. Thanks!

Hey mining engineers. I'm starting my first year for bachelor's in mining and geological engineering. So I was wondering if you could give me some advice on some things I could do to make sure by the time I finish my course every company would be wanting me to work for them?

Hey all,

For the past nearly 5 years I have worked in hospitality in mining from working as a utility, qualified chef to now a village manager but I feel drowned in the hospitality world, had anyone been able to make it out into a mechanical apprenticeship? If do how? I have applied for everything under the sun and feel like I have had no response.

I have worked with fitters and turners/ electricians before, but as I an still young (25m) I feel I still have time to switch careers and do something I enjoy.

Thanks for taking the time to read and respond :)

Got an offer from them. I’ve never worked in a mine, so I’m curious what I’m in for!

FIFO 2/2. Sounds like 30hr base/35 min bonus pay? 100/day per diem.

Also having another kid soon, if I have to miss a couple months will it hurt my reputation? My wife could probably handle it but probably wouldn’t be stoked!

Currently doing an 8 month work term as an HEO running 797 in the oil sands. I initially took this role since it was the only role I could find that allowed for an on-field, getting your hands dirty experience. However, I'm now debating about how valuable this experience actually is in terms of finding future employment as a mining engineer, which I am in school for.

If anyone could give any insight or advice, I'd greatly appreciate it!

I'm curious if FIFO trainer roles in the mining sector are out there?

About Me:

15 years of Learning and Development experience, Background in both aviation and government sectors, Tired of the WFH lifestyle and eager to take on FIFO roles in the mines

My Questions:

Are there FIFO trainer/facilitator/HR roles available in the mining sector with little to no experience in mining itself?

Which companies or regions are known for offering these opportunities?

Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated

Edit: updated for clarity

I'm studying mining engineering and was wondering what the best field is? I'm currently interning at a rock quarry but I am curious about other fields.

Thank you for watching.

Will be looking for Grad roles next year, in electrical engineering for FIFO mostly in the Pilbara. How much can I expect to make, and what would the ceiling be for this type of work?

Bonus: What is the "next step" in terms of salary managment.. etc.

Thanks

Has anyone received any updates regarding their application after the online assessment? I need to know whether I made it through to the next stage as I've gotten offers from other mining companies. Rio would've been my first preference, which is what makes this complicated.

I also applied last year and did not get any updates so eventually assumed I didn't make it through (may have to do the same this year :( unless everyone else hasn't heard back??)

hi there,

Need advice.
I am from 3rd world country currently working as maintenance reliability engineer for heavy equipment in Coal mine for 5 Years.
I am interested in Applying for same position abroad, especially in Australia.

What is the prospect of such position, or similar in Australia?
is it a position that high in demand or not?

What qualification should i have to apply for this position?

Btw I have a degree of electrical Engineering.

Any Input is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I'm about to enter my first year in college, majoring in Electrical Engineering. I'm from a 3rd world country and wish to work for a foreign company that offers high salary.

I want to work in mining or oil industry abroad from my country, and the nearest English speaking developed country is Australia.

My college gives 4 area of expertise to choose from, which is:
-Power Engineering
-Control System
-Electronics
-Telecommunication

If I may ask, which of these is best and most versatile to seek jobs in oil and mining industry? Or is oil and mining industry too different for an electrical engineering perspective that I should choose one of it to focus on?

And I'm interested in these industries since it's probably easier to get into than other sectors for people from developing country who want to work abroad. The salary is also high, not to mention 6 figure salary from a developed country will give you a luxurious life in a developing country.

Hi guys! I'm from México; One of my friends wants to start investing in a tantalite mine. We are trying to find smelters that would like to purchase it. Any ideas of how to reach the companies and build trust with them? Because so far they don't even respond to our emails. Maybe because they think is a scam.

Hey everyone - starting up a small private mine and mining Herkimer Diamond Quartz. Having a hard time coming up with a super solid mine name. A lot of good ones taken. Any ideas ?

Do you guys know of grad programs that accept new grads internationally? I can find a lot of grad programs but they don't specify their geography for the most part, and I'd like to have an international experience while I'm still young, before settling down.

Cheers mates!

What courses should i take to start my career and in What place?. I am currently studying at university but the courses are not focused on statistic.

Greetings redditors,

I'm an Indian university dropout who moved to the UAE 6 years ago to work for my dad's company, which specializes in central gas systems. I started as a helper and eventually learned welding on the job. Additionally, I worked part-time as an HVAC and electrical apprentice.

Recently, our business has been struggling, and my dad is planning to retire soon. He's considering selling the company and has offered to lend me some money to start my own business.

However, given that I'm a dropout with no formal certifications -only work experience-I don't want to start a new business without professional training. The trade schools in the UAE don't seem to fit my needs.

Why Australia:

My sister lives in ACT, and I'd like to be near her. I've read about the labor shortage and housing crisis in Australia, which might create opportunities for skilled trades. I'm looking for guidance on the best pathways to find the right trade school in Australia for welding or electrical work and to settle there long-term.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hey fellas I'm currently an apprentice plumber in Perth, I have had to leave my previous employer due to unsafe work conditions. Any recommendations on what companies may potentially take me on to continue my Apprenticeship? any advice or referrals would be much appreciated. Good on yas, cheers.

Ok guys I know this question has been asked before but can anyone give me a detailed list of the physical tests they actually do for a mining medical? . I'm aware that they do lung function tests but what are you actually doing?, and how do they test cardiovascular health?...do they make you run?. Strength test examples?. TIA

Hi, I am attending an apprenticeship assessment day at Westrac. Can anyone provide any insight into what happens on these days and how can I prepare. I really want the apprenticeship and want to make my best effort.

Currently finishing up an apprentice for one of the big tier 1s here in Aus (Certificate III in Engineering - Mechanical Trade (Fitting/machining)) and I was wondering what are the pathways to getting into HD with a dual trade to work on mobile equipment. I’ve seen plenty of companies that offer LV to HD but what are the odds of this for my trade or how would I go about getting the upgrade on my own dime

context: i work as a ramp/baggage agent and i have realised i am interested in somewhat physical roles. what job roles would fit this description. i wouldn’t mind coining but i most definitely would stay away from drilling or anything too heavy
