Underground Health, Safety & Training Development Program
Permanent opportunities available across all our operations
Bring What You Know.
We'll help grow the Rest.
Two career paths.
One underground future.
Some of the best underground Health, Safety & Training professionals started on the tools.
Others built successful careers in safety before discovering underground mining.
At Byrnecut, we believe great people don't always arrive with every box already ticked.
That's why we've created a structured development program designed to help experienced people transition into underground Health, Safety & Training from either direction.
Pathway 1 – Underground Operations to HST

If you've built solid underground operational experience and you're looking for a long-term career beyond production, we'll help you make the transition.
We'll support you to gain the qualifications, mentoring and practical experience needed to become a well-rounded Underground Health, Safety & Training professional, including:
Certificate IV in Work Health & Safety
