We have more work than we have electricians.
We're not after warm bodies to fill a roster, if you've got the mine site experience and you take the work seriously, you'll fit right in.
Ellico Group has secured long-term work across multiple Bowen Basin mine sites.
We're not filling headcount for a one-off shutdown.
We need experienced people who already know how the industry works and can hit the ground running.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Trade-qualified Electrician
Minimum 2-3 years post-trade experience in a mining environment
Based in Mackay or the Bowen Basin - local knowledge is a genuine advantage
Comfortable across maintenance, breakdowns, and shutdown scopes
Coal Board Medical and standard mining tickets preferred (or willing to obtain)
Dragline experience highly regarded - we also have opportunities available for experienced Dragline Electricians
ABOUT THE ROLE
You'll join a team of electricians deployed across multiple Bowen Basin mine sites.
Choose between a structured 7/7 roster or floating work - we have both available depending on what suits you and where the work is.
Maintenance, breakdowns and emergency callouts
Planned shutdown works
Project and upgrade scopes
Exposure to multiple mine sites and operations - no two weeks the same
Dragline maintenance and shutdown opportunities available for suitably experienced electricians
WHY ELLICO AND NOT THE NEXT CONTRACTOR
$70–$80/hr depending on experience — competitive and paid on time
7/7 roster or floating work — options that actually fit your life
Secured pipeline — long-term site relationships, not work that disappears after one shutdown
No admin headaches — we keep the paperwork easy so you can focus on the job
Supervisors who actually show up — support when you need it, not a voicemail
Local work base — Mackay-based team, Bowen Basin sites, no need to relocate
APPLY NOW
Experienced mining electricians don't stay on the market long — and neither does this work.
If you've got the mine site hours and you're local to Mackay or the Basin, reach out to Tayla directly.
