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 I wasted 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

Hi,

I am finding it very had to get into the mining industry in OZ, while living in NZ. I moved over to Perth two years ago, and had a job in the industry but there was an overflow of workers and got told all the wrong things so I returned to NZ after 5 months.

I work for SGS NZ LTD at the port of Lyttelton Christchurch. We do all the maintenance for Exxon Mobil,Shell & BP Oil. I am keen to move back to Perth to get into the mining as a workshop T/a or even a kitchen hand. So if there is any one out there that could HELP me out that would be awesome.

I have family living in the area of Langford , south of the river.

Cheers

It can be very frustrating but dont give up as there are big fish to catch.
by: steve

Hello everyone,

I have recently arrived in townsville and eventually ended up with a local job which is a stepping stone to a job in the mining industry.

I am 55, self taught, self employed for most of my working life. I do not have many tickets for mining but have experience in commercial cleaning,and kitchen work. I would be okay in a dump truck as training is often provided and like many parts of the mining industry it has a huge staff turnover.

Accurate information is very difficult to come by, applying for jobs on line is often a joke, so I've found that its who you know that helps. I'm very happy to share info. I've not found a good forum, chat room, whirlpool in Queensland.

The inductions and safety courses are changing constantly,and providing the right information is difficult, but there is a way through it all.

I am the Same as Everyone Else
by: Anonymous

I'm a 22 year old female and would like a change of scenery. I have no experience however, I have been told that I don't require experience for this sort of work.

I am committed because I have no commitments.

No Experience

Please email me at brechy_92@hotmail.com if you know of any.

Thank you.

Give me a chance!
by: Hopefully Soon

Hi, I am posting and emailing at least 50 CV's a week. I have a strong work ethic and till date no mining company wants a person with no mine experience. One minute you have companies saying that go and do this course and that course that costs about 4000.00 which I don't have and other mine companies say don't do the courses.

They advertise everywhere, workers wanted. Well HERE I AM!! Just give me a toe in the door. The TV advertisements say 3500 jobs but only for people with a minimum of 6 months mine experience.

Once again I ask HOW DO I GET THAT EXPEREINCE IF NO ONE WILL HIRE A CLEANSKIN??? Yes it does get frustrating but I carry on with the ambition of working in the mines. It'll not just be a job for me but a new career after 20 years in Defence.

Will someone give me a break into the industry please??? Also I have been told you have to know someone in the industry of which can help you obtain an unskilled cleanskin position. Well, I will not give up but it is VERY hard to gain that 6 months experience when no mine will let even your toe in the door?

Can anyone suggest anything else or give me a break for a new career?

Looking for work in any mine sites FIFO
by: James B

Hi,

I'm looking to get in on the mining boom but unfortunately I have no experience working within a mine site environment. I live in South Australia but am prepared to work in any mine site provided it is FIFO or with reasonable driving distance (no more than six hours).

I have relevant and current tickets: Dogging (DG), Elevated Work Platform (WP), Scissor and Boom lift (Yellow Card), Forklift (LF), Truck License (MR), Construction Industry White Card, Working at Heights and Senior First Aid.

I also have a strong desire to work within the mining industry and a good work ethic, however, trying to find a job without the relevant "work experience" is difficult.

I am currently in the process of trying to get some unpaid work experience with local crane companies in the hope that this may help my situation.

If anyone has any other ideas which may help or knows of companies which will employ people with limited experience, please contact me via email at james.battilana@yahoo.com.au

Any info would be of help.

Thanks,
James.
