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, robust 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.

Why Join Freo?

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
Robust commitment to safety and teamwork
Ability to pass a pre-employment medical and Drug & Alcohol assessment
A positive attitude and strong work ethic

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.
