Australian Mining Jobs for New Zealanders and Employment

With a mining boom currently underway in Australia it is no wonder that New Zealanders want to move across the ditch and make the most of it too. There is a range of jobs available throughout Australia with the biggest mining areas are Western Australia and Queensland. Mine companies commonly employ Kiwis to work in the Australian mines, as they offer work for both skilled and unskilled people.

Considering there is a large number of mine sites located throughout Australia, there may be a position available closer to New Zealand. Otherwise you may be interested in a fly in/ fly out (FIFO) position. There is a range of positions available to suit a range of work backgrounds and experiences. In some cases you could be paid up to AU $100,000 a year for operating a Dump Truck. There is a range of work available in Australia now for people who are interested in:

  • Heavy equipment operation
  • Labouring
  • Dump Truck operation
  • Administration
  • Traineeships/ Apprenticeships
  • Geology
  • And many more...

The most popular locations that New Zealanders want to gain employment are Port Hedland, Mackay, Kalgoorie, Olympic Dam, Mount Isa and Argyle. Before you fly over to Australia there may be a few questions you want answered first. These may include:

  • what license/s you need
  • if there are traineeships available
  • what Visa is required to work in Australia
  • whether you need mining experience
  • what sort of training is required and where to get it
  • what certification is required
  • and how soon you can start

If you are considering flying to Australia on a whim to find out about employment, it may be best for you to find out where mine sites are located, who to contact about work in the mines, and the type of work available. If you can save time and money by securing work from New Zealand, rather than flying over first, then we can help you if you are considering this option.
