Mining, CHPP, fixed plant, shutdown or heavy equipment experience will be highly regarded.
Current Coal Board Medical, Standard 11, Working at Heights, Confined Space and mine‑site inductions are also highly regarded, but don't let an expired or missing site competency stop you from applying.

A genuine variety of heavy fabrication and mining maintenance work
Planned maintenance, shutdown, breakdown and project opportunities
Meals and accommodation for eligible non‑local site work

We value people who turn up, work safely, take pride in their trade and back the crew around them.
If you're an experienced Boilermaker looking for ongoing work, variety and the opportunity to work across both workshop and mine‑site projects, we'd like to hear from you.
