Australian Mining Open Pit and Employment

With a giant mining boom underway in Australia, mostly concentrated in Western Australia and Queensland, there is a great need for skilled and unskilled workers to work in open pit mines.
There are several positions available in the underground mines such as:

Dumptruck driving
Excavator driver
Offsider
Blast Engineer
Crane operator

Plus many more,
Working in the open pit mines is a very demanding job with long shifts out in the open through all weather conditions. But working in the open pit mines is a very rewarding job where in some cases, you can be paid up to $100,000 a year for operating heavy machinery. In most remote locations, mine companies will pay you well to compensate for being located so far away from any cities or towns. In most cases, the mine company will initially set up a small town that will include all of the amenities that you require such as food, accommodation, beverages, social activities, and other activities to keep you entertained when you are not working.

If you are looking to gain a position in the open pit mining industry, then you may also want to know:

Where they are located
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

If you do not have these, there are other ways to gain a position in the open pit mines or alternatively there are plenty other positions in other locations that may be more 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.
