Australian Mining Hospitality Jobs and Employment

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

If you are seeking a hospitality job in the mining industry and not sure where to apply, then we can help. Mine companies commonly employ people to work in the hospitality department to provide freshly prepared food for all the employees currently working at a mine site. There are many positions available in this department, some of these include:

  • Chefs / Cooks
  • Kitchen hands
  • Catering Assistant
  • Food and Beverage Attendants
  • Coffee Baristas
  • Counter Hands

As you can see, there is a range of options available for people from all sorts of backgrounds from entry- level positions to vastly experienced hospitality positions. If you are looking to gain this type of position, then you may want to know:

  • If there are traineeships available
  • Whether you need mining and/ or hospitality experience
  • What sort of training is required and where to get it
  • What certification is required
  • And how soon you can start

Considering there is a large number of mine sites located throughout Australia, there may be a hospitality 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 typical day in the hospitality department would include preparing three main meals for employees as well as making snacks and beverages readily available. Also you could be expected to clean and prepare the cafeteria area for meals and partake in cleaning up. If you are considering getting into the mining industry, now is a great time to do so, for both skilled and unskilled workers.
