About the Role
We take pride in the ground we work in - competent rock, a strong safety culture and a modern Sandvik fleet that sets you up for success. You'll find a supportive team environment with real pathways for development, working in technically challenging conditions that build depth in your skills and exposure to precision underground mining. As we move toward 2.2 million tonnes per annum, production drilling accuracy becomes increasingly important. Our Long Hole Drillers are central to delivering quality stopes that drive predictable production and minimise dilution. Working in technically varied ore bodies, you'll operate modern Sandvik long hole production drills, drilling to tight tolerances and collaborating closely with geology and engineering to execute designed stope plans. This is a role for operators who understand that drilling precision directly impacts tonnes, grade and recovery.
