Job Description

Big machines, long shifts, good pay: the open-pit iron ore mine near Brits needs qualified operators. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

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

The work, day to day

  • Complete the pre-use inspection checklist for your trackless mobile machine
  • Keep radio contact with the dispatch controller and follow the right-of-way rules
  • Refuel and wash the machine at the end of your shift where required
  • Respect the collision avoidance system warnings and park-up rules
  • Drill blast holes to the plan depth and angle marked by the survey team
  • Haul ore and waste on the haul road loop to the crusher or dump
  • Push and level material on dumps and stockpiles with the dozer

You'll need

  • Grade 10 at minimum, with Grade 12 strongly preferred
  • Clear understanding of the TMM regulations under Chapter 8 of the MHSA regulations
  • 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

Nice if you have

  • Machine training instructor experience
  • Certificates on two or more machine types

On offer

  • Company bus from nearby towns to the mine gate
  • Annual performance bonus
  • Medical aid subsidy

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Brits really suit you before you apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: machine operator certificates plus certificate of fitness, if current.

  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 9 working days.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • 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.
