Dont even start the stories of the chicks on mine sites, i could write a book and use all available paper in the world to write it BUT not from personal experience......




Ive been working in the mines for 4 years. The money is good if not excellent.

You want a good roster thou, tis hard on you, family n friends if ya doing a 5 week on 1 week off roster.

My work is looking for a loader / digger / poly welder for a site in the goldfields FIFO...[/b]

Anything going in the mines for a 2nd year fitter & machinist apprentice?

Another bump, straight to the top.

Would appreciate thoughts from any mining industry recruiters on this. My wife and I are currently living in Kalgoorlie. She works at the superpit driving 793&#39;s and I have a somewhat slack uni job after a bunch of years in the mining industry.

We&#39;ve been doing some talking and we&#39;re starting to think about leaving Kalgoorlie (sometime in the near future) and looking at both of us doing FIFO work. We could rent our kalgoorlie property out and ideally pick up an awfully cheap rental property through family to live in while in Perth, so it may be the best financial option for us.

Are there sites out there that will look at / take on couples as operators in a FIFO situation? My wife is an excellent operator but I do not have any site experience (not driving anyway, heaps of mining industry exposure through my IT work though), but I do hold a current HR license and occupational first aid certificate and I do like to think I&#39;m a pretty quick attentive learner.

I guess at this point we&#39;d like to know if it&#39;s a realistic expectation to find a site that would take us both on before we go starting to uproot ourselves from Kal. Any advice from people that have dealt with other couples wanting to do FIFO together would be awesome.

Cheers muchly

Difficult to find FIFO for couples. I work with quite an few and after the first couple of months it was expected of them to relocate. Big company&#39;s just love creating false infrastructure&#39;s unfortuately.

But do try ringiing HAYES/ Mining Recruitment Services they should be able to give you the full low down.

be prepared to get no response from hays..

I went out and got my FEL, Forklift and a Blue ticket.. and still cant get work up there..

( fel - front end loader )

if anyone&#39;s got anything solid - let me know, my contract is coming up in > 5 weeks now - no rain means no more work in the superphosphate at CSBP..

wouldn&#39;t mind fifo.. as long as it&#39;s paying..

for people who are chasing a foot in the door, a good way to do it is to become a pit tech.
only problem is you have to work with geo&#39;s.
no qualifications are needed but there is a course you can do at tafe.

generally not overly well paid, but if you can stick it out for a bit, and are not a moron, the other departmets should give you a chance.

there are heaps of pit tech jobs in the paper, and no, we arn&#39;t chasing any up here at the moment.

I have >4 weeks now..

[foolishboy]

Just curious,
Has anyone worked for or had anything to do with PYBAR?
Looking at returning to shotcreting and they have a position going in SA but just thought Id try and see if anyone has anything to say about em.
I got plenty to say about BHP Billiton, Macmahon and Eroc

[GORCAT]

[vixen]

Choice, wouldn&#39;t matter if it was a shit of a job, Strath is sitting just next to the best riding roads in SA.

Pybar have been operating at Parkes (rio-tinto) and Cadia (newcrest) and seem to be preferred contractors for those sites...........
