Australia Mining Queensland and Employment

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

Mining in Queensland has exploded in the last few years and is competing with Western Australia for both skilled and unskilled workers. Queensland certainly has an advantage as it is closer to other states and countries so commuting and moving is easier. However there are still hundred of jobs in this area for workers from all backgrounds.

There are a variety of mining jobs available in Queensland, located through out the state. South Queensland is always popular However there are many positions located in central and northern Queensland, near towns like Emerald, Makcay, Mount Isa, and Rockahampton. There are hundreds of jobs available throughout the state, from dump truck operators to drillers, nurses, plant operators, mine managers, trades assistants, sample preparers, geologists, surveyor and metallurgists. Often these workers stay in mining camps so housekeepers, cooks, kitchen staff, and cleaners are also in demand. Whatever job you are considering you will want information on:

What are the minimum requirements
What licences do I need
What training is required and where can this be done
What jobs are you suited to
Is there certification that is required.

Jobs are located all over Australia so there is probably a job vacancy near you or alternatively you may want to consider a FIFO (fly in/fly out) position. This is where the mine is located in a remote area and the mine flies in workers from main centres. You may like to have information on:

What length are shifts likely to be
Is accommodation and meals provided
Will my employer pay for my travel costs
how soon can I start

We can advise you on all these issues and more. With so many mines in Australia and more to come, now is certainly a good time to get involved in the industry, for both skilled and unskilled workers.
