Australian Mining Site Manager and Employment

Mine companies are often looking for experienced shift manager in the mining industry. To be a site manager you must have vast experience in the mining industry of experience in running similar sites (eg Excavation sites or Construction sites). Working as a site manager in the mines is a highly regarded position as you oversee all operations of the mine site. A typical day for a Site Manager could include watching over day-to-day mining operations, enforcement of health and safety policies and much more.

Before applying for a site manager position on an Australian mine site, you'll want to be prepared. It is important that you already have all the correct certificates, licences, training, and prior experience required before going into an interview. Every site is different and they each may require different specifications for their personal site manager position. You may have had previous construction site manager experience, yet still need specific licenses to be an acceptable site manager on a mine site. It all depends on your experience, skill set, and location.

You may find a mine site near you offering a site manager position, but often you'll find even more openings in far off locations. These positions are considered FIFO jobs. In these positions you will be flown to the site and back home, often fully paid for by the employer. If you are interested in FIFO site manager positions, you will want to know about the accommodation and meals provided on site, how long shifts are, when and where to apply for these positions, and what traveling costs will be covered by the potential employers.

The more you know, the more likely you will nail a site manager position in the mining industry.
