About the Company

Join a global leading underground mining contractor with a national and international footprint, specialising in shaft sinking, raise boring, mine development and full-scale production mining. Known for tackling complex ground conditions across Australia, the Americas, Africa and Europe, this business is currently going through a period of significant growth, with new contract wins across multiple sites nationally.

About the Role

We're looking for an experienced Underground Electrician ready to step up into a Leading Hand position at a modern, fast-growing underground hard rock operation in the Cobar Basin. This greenfield site has recently transitioned from development into full production, with a solid pipeline of underground development work ahead - a genuinely exciting time to join.

As Leading Hand, you'll lead and mentor a small crew of underground electricians, coordinating daily workloads, planned maintenance and breakdown priorities, while also staying hands-on across a broad scope of electrical work:

- 1000V reticulation and terminations
- Drill rig servicing and breakdowns
- Maintenance and installation of pumps, fans and vents
- Relocation and installation of jumbo boxes and pump starters
- Leaky feeder communication system installs and maintenance
- Testing, tagging, statutory checks and audits

For those capable and ticketed, there's also scope to move into specialised work including 11kV reticulation,



substation maintenance and installs, and HV switching - with training provided as you progress.

Why This Role

- Day shift only roster - 15 days on, 13 off, 12-hour shifts (5:30am-5:30pm)
- Highly competitive rates based on experience
- Genuine pathway to a permanent position with the company after 26 weeks, based on performance, safety, culture fit and skills development
- Hotel-style accommodation in Cobar - your own room with ensuite, plus access to local gym facilities; buffet-style meals provided
- Shuttle bus provided from accommodation to site each shift
- OEM training opportunities to upskill your maintenance trade skills
- Work in a small, close-knit team where you'll have genuine impact on daily operations, not just be another number
- Join a business known for long-term careers, with opportunities to progress into senior, leadership or technical roles, and even international transfers down the track

About You

- Trade qualified Electrician
- Current driver's licence
- Ability to read schematics and technical drawings
- Underground Hard Rock Mining experience
- Comfortable working autonomously with a strong can-do attitude
- Reliable, safety-focused, and keen to keep learning and developing

Advantageous (not essential)

- Automine experience
- Underground hard rock mining equipment knowledge
- Drill servicing and breakdown experience
