What we offer

Rates that respect your trade

Earn $68–$75 per hour plus super, depending on the scope of work. Selected scopes may attract higher rates. We recognise the value of skilled tradespeople and believe your pay should reflect the work you’re trusted to deliver.

A workplace you enjoy being part of

Clear communication, mutual respect and a crew that supports one another. We want people to enjoy coming to work and take an active role in making the workplace better.

Support to keep improving

Your experience and ideas are valued. We encourage people to share knowledge, develop their capabilities and help improve the way the whole team works.

Opportunities to grow with the business

We work hard to provide further opportunities for dependable people. As our work across SA, NT,



WA and NSW grows and we develop international FIFO opportunities, we want our team to benefit through broader experience, greater responsibility and opportunities to progress.

We deliver for our people and our clients

Our clients rely on us to provide skilled, dependable crews who work safely and deliver quality. Our people can expect the same commitment from us: fair pay, clear communication and support to grow.

Loyalty and performance go both ways. When we secure higher rates, we pass that success on through better pay for the people who consistently deliver and grow with us.

Our priority is building and retaining teams that consistently perform. That means investing in good people, recognising their contribution and creating a workplace they want to stay part of. Strong teams deliver better outcomes for our clients, and the people behind those results deserve to share in the success.

The standard we expect

Please only apply if you’re prepared to put in the hard yards, take pride in your workmanship and actively contribute to a positive workplace culture. We want people who support their teammates, enjoy what they do and continually look for ways to improve.

Quality workmanship is non-negotiable, and we expect everyone—including ourselves—to uphold that standard.

Apply through SEEK with your current resume, relevant qualifications and tickets, and availability for shutdown and project work across SA, NT, WA and NSW.

Clearly outline your fixed plant and mining experience, together with any specialist alignment or welding capabilities. Please have at least three professional referees available for our screening process.
