Dozer Operator (Mine Dumps & Haul Roads)

Big machines, long shifts, good pay: the open-cast coal mine near Tembisa needs qualified operators. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

You'll be based at an open-cast coal mine in Tembisa. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Report defects and lock out the machine for the maintenance crew
• Drill blast holes to the plan depth and angle marked by the survey team
• Log loads, cycle times and machine hours on the onboard system or sheet
• Refuel and wash the machine at the end of your shift where required
• Complete the pre-use inspection checklist for your trackless mobile machine
• Respect the collision avoidance system warnings and park-up rules

• At least 2 years operating the machine in a mining environment
• Valid operator certificate for the specific machine, from an MQA-accredited provider
• Certificate of fitness from a mine medical practitioner
• Able to work 12-hour shifts on a rotating day and night roster

• Experience with ultra-class haul trucks
• Fatigue management or defensive driving training
• Certificates on two or more machine types

• Annual performance bonus
• Shift allowance for night and weekend shifts
• Company bus from nearby towns to the mine gate

• If you live near the mine, say so. Local applicants are often preferred under the Social and Labour Plan.
• Put your operator certificate expiry dates on the CV. Expired tickets are the top reason operators get filtered out.
