Continuous Miner Operator (Coal) – Experienced

You'll operate heavy mining machines on shift at the open-pit iron ore mine near Kuruman. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

This post is Kuruman-based, with most of your time spent at an open-pit iron ore mine.

• Log loads, cycle times and machine hours on the onboard system or sheet
• Push and level material on dumps and stockpiles with the dozer
• Load, haul and tip with the LHD from draw points to the ore pass
• Haul ore and waste on the haul road loop to the crusher or dump
• Refuel and wash the machine at the end of your shift where required

• At least 2 years operating the machine in a mining environment
• Clear understanding of the TMM regulations under Chapter 8 of the MHSA regulations
• Certificate of fitness from a mine medical practitioner
• Grade 10 at minimum, with Grade 12 strongly preferred

• Machine training instructor experience
• Fatigue management or defensive driving training

• Shift allowance for night and weekend shifts
• Company bus from nearby towns to the mine gate
• Medical aid subsidy

• Name the exact machine class and size you operated, like "100-ton rigid dump truck". Mines hire by machine.
• Put your operator certificate expiry dates on the CV. Expired tickets are the top reason operators get filtered out.
