Australian Mining Jobs for Women and Employment

The mining industry is known for being predominately male. However, time has changed and a large number of women are now seeking to work in this exciting and rewarding industry. Many women are today employed in a range of mining positions.

Mining companies are employing women because:

they tend to have great safety records
work ethics are excellent
competency in the position
there is a greater number of skilled women
they are gentler on the mining equipment
they tend to keep equipment cleaner

Considering there is a large number of mine sites located throughout Australia, there may be a position suited to you 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. In some cases couples can request to share accommodation and have the same days off.

There is a range of positions available for women some including Dump Truck Operator, Mobile Plant Operator, Catering, Mine Engineer, Administration, Geology, Environment Rehabilitation, Drilling and many more.

Nearly 1/5 of the mining industry today is made up of women employees and this is expected to grow over the next 10 years with the demand for employees increasing each year. By the year 2015 women employees can be expected to make up nearly half off the total workforce in the mining industry. Some women are already earning up to $70,00 for operating mine equipment such as operating Dump Trucks.

If you are considering getting into the mining industry, now is a great time to do so, for both skilled and unskilled workers.
