Australian Mining Olympic Dam Jobs and Employment

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

With a giant mining boom underway in Australia, with some of it concentrated in South Australia, there is a great need for skilled and unskilled workers. If you are contemplating moving to Olympic Dam or currently live in this area, then you may want to know how to find a job in the Olympic Dam mines.

Olympic Dam mining companies commonly employ people from all over Australia and New Zealand to work in these mines. If you do not currently live in South Australia, then you may want to consider a FIFO position where you can fly in and out when you are required to do so. Working in the mines is a very rewarding job where most companies pay much more for you to do a similar job you could do back home. In some cases, you can be paid up to $100,000 a year for operating heavy machinery.

If you are looking to gain a position in Olympic Dam, then you may want to know:

what license/s you need
if there are traineeships available
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
Considering there is a large number of mine sites located throughout South Australia, there may be a position available close to where you live. Otherwise you may be interested in a fly in/ fly out (FIFO) position.

A position in the mines in Olympic Dam is ideal for you if you:

have a current South Australia drivers license or can obtain this
have several years experience driving trucks
can pass a pre employment medical examination
have at least 6 months mining experience
have current first aid certification or able to obtain this
If you do not have these, there are other ways to gain a position in the mines in Olympic Dam or alternatively there are plenty other positions in other locations that may be more suitable for you.
