Australia Mines Jobs and Employment

Mining is one of the few areas in Australia that is still expanding and jobs are plentiful. Some positions can be physically demanding, but you are well rewarded for your efforts with the average wage hitting $90,000. There are many different positions in the mining industry to start out in for those with no experience and those with extensive experience. If you are interested in one of these entry-level positions, you may wish to join a position on the drill crew. If you are looking for something less physically demanding, they also have catering positions, hospitality positions, and even degree-level orientated positions such as accounting.

There are many mines throughout Australia. If you are interested in a position within your area, you are likely to find one. However, there is always the possibility of a position located outside of your state or even in another country if you are interested. Often these out-of-the-area positions are the highlight of the mining industry for adventure-seekers. Depending on where outside of the state or country you choose to work in, your shifts may be longer or shorter, food and accommodation may be provided, and the amount of the travel costs the employer covers may alter.

When considering working in the mines, not only will you want to think about the location of the mines you're interested in working in, but you will also want to think about how you can enter into the mines in your best suited position. Every position is different and requires that you have very specific licenses and training prior to working in the mines.

We can give you information on suitable positions available in the mines, what is required in training and licenses for those positions, the differences between mine sites, and even how to create a presentable resume. If you are keen to move into the mines, you need to be prepared to impress the employers. Talk to our highly-trained staff at Mining Australia while you can!
