The Equipment n
You'll gain exposure to a varied underground mobile fleet including:
n
n
Underground mining trucks
n
Loaders / boggers
n
Drills

Integrated tool carriers

This gives you the opportunity to develop across a much broader range of equipment rather than working on the same machines day in, day out.
The Roster n
Enjoy an even-time roster giving you a full week off between swings:
n
n
7 days on / 7 days off / 7 nights on / 7 days off
n
Wednesday to Tuesday rotation
n
12-hour shifts

Entry into underground mining for experienced mobile plant fitters

Lifestyle-friendly 7:7 roster

Consistent 12-hour shifts
