Stop Chasing Shutdowns. Join the Crew That Has Them.
At Freo Group, we're building something different.
We're not looking for operators for one shutdown.
We're building the most committed shutdown workforce — a team of skilled operators who want consistent work, strong crews, quality leadership and a company that genuinely values loyalty.
With a growing pipeline of Shutdowns & ADHOC work across the Basin in Moranbah and Dysart, QLD, we are seeking experienced Crane Operators to join a team that operators want to come back to — again and again.

At Freo, we understand that the best operators have choices.
That's why we're focused on providing certainty, recognition and opportunity.
- Consistent shutdown opportunities across the year
- Competitive rates and regular work
- Priority access to future shutdowns for high-performing operators
- Modern and well-maintained fleet
- Travel, accommodation and various allowances provided
- Strong crews, experienced supervisors and supportive leadership
- Opportunity to transition into ongoing and permanent positions
- A company that values loyalty, safety and performance
What We're Looking For
We are seeking experienced Crane operators with any of the following:
- C6 Slewing Crane Operators
- RI, RA - Riggers
To be successful
you will have:
- High Risk Work Licence
- Construction White Card
- Current Standard 11 SOA preferred
- BMA Core SOA if required
- Current Coal Board Medical are highly regarded
- Previous shutdown or mine site experience
- Strong commitment to safety and teamwork
- Ability to pass a pre-employment medical and Drug & Alcohol assessment

The Freo Difference
The shutdown industry is full of companies looking for operators.
We're building a company that operators want to stay with.
We believe loyalty should be recognised.
We believe solid crews are built through relationships, trust and respect.
That's why we're creating a workforce where high-performing operators are rewarded with repeat opportunities, recognition and access to a pipeline of work across Western Australia.
Ready to Join the Crew?
If you're looking for more than just your next shutdown and want to be part of a team that values your contribution, we'd love to hear from you.
