Skilled Rigger – High‑reward FIFO Shutdown Work

If you’ve got strong mining‑site experience and the right licences, you could be lifting heavy gear with a tight‑knit shutdown crew and working on projects for top‑tier mining companies.

About Us

At RCR Mining Technologies – Service Delivery, we manage shutdowns, installations, and breakdowns across the Pilbara. Our team keeps the big gear moving and we’re proud of our safe, professional environment and supportive team culture.
Because we contract to major players in the region, accepted candidates will be deployed on shutdowns and maintenance work for some of Australia’s most distinguished mining companies. The point of hire is from Perth, Western Australia.

What you’ll be doing

Executing complex and heavy lifts — think large apron feeders, shuttles, gates, OEM‑supplied heavy mining gear.

Reading and interpreting lift plans and drawings, ensuring accuracy and compliance.

Managing rigging gear: checking safety, compliance, and readiness before every lift.

Working closely with fitters/boilermakers and providing guidance to less‑experienced riggers when needed.

Operating in a high‑safety environment where teamwork, reliability, and safe outcomes come first.

What we’re looking for

2+ years’ experience on a mining site – preferably in shutdown or heavy‑lift rigging.
Current HRWL with RI or RA.
Current certifications (within last 2 years): Confined Space, Working at Heights, Gas Test Atmospheres & VOC,



plus First Attack Firefighting Equipment ticket.
Robust commitment to safety and a team‑first attitude.

Willingness to work FIFO shutdowns from Perth to the Pilbara.

We strongly encourage all qualified candidates to apply — including women and Indigenous people.

What’s in it for you

Full‑time FIFO shutdown work — giving you flexibility and variety rather than a fixed roster.
Exposure to top‑tier mining operations — getting your hands dirty on significant projects for some of Australia’s leading mining companies.
Ongoing shutdown opportunities for reliable, high‑performing crew members.
The chance to join a supportive, safety‑driven team that values your skill, craftsmanship and work ethic.

Real exposure to heavy‑duty OEM rigging work, building experience that can grow your long‑term career.
