I’ve been driving machines since I was 15 till now (20). Would it be better to try apply for the smaller mines and work my way up? Planning on going for at least a year minimum to make sure it’s what I wanna do then probs stay another 4.

Hi,

I am an HR professional and has recently relocated to NSW, Australia after getting my PR.

I am having an extensive experience in operating across a wide range of HR functions combined with an expertise in SAP based Payroll management & HRIS and possess a deep understanding of the human resource issues in a heavily industrialized, blue-collared environment, in a large, multi-sited federal government owned corporation within the Natural Gas industry.

I have been applying for HR specific roles in heavy industries in Australia, however, I am not getting any calls. I believe, this is happening because of the lack of any local experience.

Need help, if something can be done in this.

Applying for the qualified Train Driver job with BHP. Do BHP do psychometric testing? I've been driving coal for 10+ years CQCN etc. Also any tips on how to get my resume looked at? I've applied with FMG previously but haven't gotten past step 1. Clean safety record and plenty of experience with DP and Diesels and Electrics. Many less experienced drivers in our company have gotten starts but I must be doing something wrong.

Just started a new position doing new miner training. I want a flashlight for really lighting up loose material, other hazards, and really whatever else to new employees. What flashlights do you guys recommend? I used to have a streamlight stinger HL but I'm wanting something brighter. I want bright, rechargeable, and good beam pattern to shine at a face from a truck. Price isn't an issue. Located in the US.

Pic for attention. Felt cute at rescue training, might delete later

Hi all.

What are the opportunities for electrical engineers in mines?

Are they in demand and is it a growing field? What do electrical engineers do in mines?

Could an electrical engineer in mining transfer to renewables?

Sorry if these questions sound stupid, just asking for a friend. We are both Aussie citizens.

Thank you.

Hi all,

Mrs and I are looking for a job in mining together. Worked in mining before so I have no worries in finding a job. I’ll be in maintenance management and Mrs I recon utilities or planning, but anything low entry will do.

Just wondering if there’s anyone here working on the same site as their partner, and got jobs there together rather than meet on-site. What sites are ‘couple-friendly’? Any tips on going about this?

Cheers

Can anyone shed light on timeframe to expect regarding BHP hiring outside of Australia? I completed the hirevue at the start of this week and now status reflects “in progress.”

EDIT: to clarify, applied for a role(s) that are based outside of Australia.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice as I consider my next career move.

A bit about me: I earned my PhD in Civil Engineering in Australia 1 year ago and have been working in geotechnical consulting since then, focusing on mining and dams. The work environment is great, with supportive colleagues and managers, and I can see a clear progression path in consulting.

However, I’m contemplating gaining more site-based experience while I’m still flexible (and single!). FIFO (fly-in-fly-out) roles seem like a good way to get hands-on experience, work closely with clients, and potentially increase my earnings.

I’m torn between two options: • Staying in consulting, where I know the environment and see long-term growth. • Taking on site-based work, which would challenge me, diversify my experience, and potentially boost my income.

In terms of long-term career development, salary potential, and opportunities, which path would you recommend? Have you been in a similar situation? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

I am in need of a Colorado lawyer who knows his way around the mining laws for hard rock mining. There is a mining law for operators of a mine who have not been paid. The operator has more rights to the mine than the mine owner. This is the law we are needing a lawyer to defend. Thanks.

Hey guys! Hope yall are doing great. I'm 22 and I have been doing construction for a while. I'm looking for something more exciting and interesting hence why I want to pursue a career in mining. I'm located in Ontario, Canada and I don't mind commuting anywhere honestly to get my foot in the door. I don't know anybody that are in the mining industry so I think it may be hard to get in. What can I do to get a position?

Hey there. I just saw a reel's video about a FIFO gig and was very intriguing. Their Instagram is FIFOGUIDE2. Was just curious if it is BS or can people with no education/trade background (such as myself) get a job there as easly as they are making it out to be? Would really love to hear your story if you have done this before, especially for those in Europe. (For context I am Norway citizen)

Tldr:I am 23yr old male. No trade or educational background. And Norway citizen trying to get FIFO work in Australia.

Hi! Im a 18 years old guy from romania who is currently try to search for FIFO Jobs, i have electrician deegre and experience in both industrial and residential electric Jobs, where i can find jobs?

This thread is to help organize the sub a bit more with relation to questions about jobs in the mining industry. We will edit this as we go to improve. Thank you.

Hey all, as the title suggests I am thinking of looking for work else where but I honestly don’t know where to start. I’m thinking I would do nothing more than equal time. 2/1 or 3/1 does not suit me. What’s the best way to approach this ? Move to Perth ? Move to qld ? Or forget about fifo ?. For context I have 3 kids all that are not teenagers yet but with the state of work in South Australia I’m lost for options. Thanks in advance for any advice or insight you can give

Hour and a half before I have to be on the bus and I’m laying in bed dreading day two of nightshift, the last year all I can think is how tf am I supposed to do this for another 40 years, I’m sick of alternating day/nights, I’m sick of missing things at home, I’m starting study in January to get out but another year makes me want to crawl into a ball and that’s if I’m even successful, I’ve done well, I’ve got tickets im well regarded over my abilities and performance but I’m just not happy anymore and I can’t even take a sickie because I only have an hour left after surgery and unexpected family events and god forbid I asked my bosses for a day without six months notice, I feel like I’m screaming into a void.

How do you keep going or even take a break without feeling like you’re letting your family down or risking your job

Hello fellow mine dwellers.

I have 2+years experience working remote doing DIDO and FIFO on mines doing gyprocking and as a trades assistant and I’ve also worked in the utility side of things. Wanting to stay working fifo for the time being, but I do wonder what other kind of work is available within different mining companies. I’d really like to work handling wildlife or something to do with the conservation of mine sites, but really don’t have any prerequisites for it. Just wanting to know what more niche jobs people have experience in on mine sites (even if not related to what I’ve listed) and if they had to fulfil some form of education or if they were able to start at the entry level etc. Just entertaining different possibilities.

Hi, can anyone recommend any laboratory or refinery that do fire assay of PGMs(Pt, Pd, Rh, Ir) ore concentrates? I have searched in internet but I can only find companies that are dedicated to pgms scrab, or at least that's what their websites say.

How much of the day to day are you in a cubical and how much of the day are you interacting with people down in the mine?
