Serious money... and a roster suited to you... Underground and Surface

You keep rigs alive for a living. Roles suited to you and the lifestyle outside of work you want.

Why this gig is actually worth a look

- $85-$100 per hour, straight up, for people who know what they are doing
- Day shift only, your body clock finally gets a win, and you remember what sunlight looks like
- All roster types are open for discussion; you get a say instead of “take it or leave it”
- Extensively tooled workshops on large exploration sites, you bring the know-how, they bring the toys
- Work on Schramm, Sandvik, UDR rigs, Hurricane boosters and Sullair or IR compressors, proper kit, not museum pieces
- Career progression, if you want it, they promote from within
- No egos, no drama, just adults who turn up, fix gear, have a laugh and go home in one piece

What you will actually be doing

- Keeping drill rigs and compressors in top condition, inspections, diagnostics, repairs and preventative maintenance
- Tackling hydraulic, mechanical and pneumatic issues without needing someone to hold your hand
- Working with operators and drillers so breakdowns are short and production keeps moving
- Keeping your paperwork tight, service records,



parts usage and maintenance logs that make sense

If you are the type who hears a strange noise and already knows what is about to fail, you will fit in.

Who you are

You are a fitter with a positive head on your shoulders. You back yourself, you do not cut corners, and you do not need someone standing over you to do the right thing.
