 The
following features a brief outline on this type of mining industry job.
With a giant mining boom underway in Australia, mostly concentrated
in Western Australia, there is a great need for skilled and unskilled
workers. If you are contemplating moving to Western Australia or currently
live in this state, then you may want to know how to find a job in one
of the mines here.
Western Australia mining companies commonly employ people
from all over Australia and New Zealand to work in these mines. If you
do not currently live in Western 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.

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
Western 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.

- have a current Western Australia drivers license or can obtain this
- have several years experience driving trucks
