Australian Mining Cleaning Jobs and Employment

The following features a brief outline on this type of mining industry job.

If you are seeking a cleaning job in the mining industry and not sure where to start, then we can help. Mine companies and Cleaning contractors commonly employ cleaners to work at mine sites. Their role is to provide cleaning services when required. A typical day for a cleaner could include cleaning and preparing the cafeteria for meals, accommodation units, cleaning offices, working with cleaning chemicals, and cleaning crib rooms and toilets. If you are looking to gain this type of position, then you may want to know:

  • If you travel expenses will be paid for
  • Whether you need mining and/ or catering experience
  • What sort of training is required and where to get it
  • What certification is required
  • How long do the shifts run for
  • And how soon you can start

There is a range of options available for people from all sorts of backgrounds from entry-level positions to vastly experienced cleaning positions. Considering there is a large number of mine sites located throughout Australia, there may be a cleaning position available close to where you live. Otherwise you may be interested in a fly in/ fly out (FIFO) position. For a FIFO position you could expect to work up to 8 to 10 days at a time, fly home for a few days off before being flown back to work again.

A Cleaning position is ideal for you if you:

  • have cleaning experience
  • have a full drivers license
  • hold a Coal Board Induction
  • pay attention to detail
  • are prepared to work weekends
  • have excellent time management skills
  • have the ability to apply work safe practices while working
  • have worked in remote locations before

If you do not have these, there are other ways to gain a position as a Cleaner in the mines or alternatively there are plenty other positions that may suitable for you. If you are considering getting into the mining industry, now is a great time to do so, for both skilled and unskilled workers.
