Finding unskilled mining jobs in Australia

by Ross
(Australia)

I am from New Zealand and went to Australia first in 2005 and looked for a mining job in Australia. I went around the agencies in Perth but they all wanted experienced people. In process wasting 1000 dollars in accommodation and food.

I then went out to Kalgoorlie and still had no luck. I luckily remembered a mate was in W.A. and to my luck was in Kalgoorlie, over the phone he gave me some company names that were hiring. I went around and had a full time job in 5 minutes.

I know how hard it can be to get a job and have put this website up to help other Aussies and Kiwis to get a job in the mines. http://www.getajobinthemines.com

Good luck,
Ross

Looking for a start
by: Sharalee

Hi Everyone,

I am a 33yr old female looking for a head start in the mines, working as a cleaner/kitchen hand etc. I am more than willing to be trained, and I will stick to the job and contract for the full amount of time I am employed for. I am also willing to accept an extended contract after the first initial work period. I do not mind if it is fly in fly out or whether it is an on site job, with accommodation. If anyone can give me a head start I would appreciate it. I am also willing to work for long lengths of time without a break. Currently living in Taranaki, New Zealand and can leave on very short notice.

welder
by: Anonymous

.
My expertise involves welding with stick, MIG and submerged arc welding on coco bogies of Indian diesel locomotives, side frames of coaches of Indian railways, air reservoirs, and many jobs of critical works for which I have been suitably awarded and certified as a qualified welder by the Indian railways. Have also been awarded by the Indian railways for meritorious service in 1988, 1991 and 2005.

I am a qualified welder having done my act apprenticeship in the indian railways workshops in 1984. I have also completed my submerged arc welding course in adavanced training institute at Chennai in 1990. Hence I am a aptly qualified and experienced welder with about 20 years of experience in welding in the railways.

I am earnestly seeking a sponsor who would assist me with a visa 457. I did work in Brisbane in 2008, but due to constraints with my ailing mother I was forced to return to India, and later my visa was cancelled. Repeated requests to the immigration department to revoke my visa yielded negative results and hence my visa was cancelled in April 2009.
If provided a visa will I be highly obliged to work and share all my experience with your esteemed company.
Thank you very much,
M F. Fernandez
