Job Description

If you run a machine safely and hit your cycle times, this contract mining company near Kimberley will keep you busy. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

The site is in Kimberley; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Overtime comes up in peak season and is paid.

What your day looks like

  • Complete the pre-use inspection checklist for your trackless mobile machine
  • Load, haul and tip with the LHD from draw points to the ore pass
  • Push and level material on dumps and stockpiles with the dozer
  • Respect the collision avoidance system warnings and park-up rules
  • Keep radio contact with the dispatch controller and follow the right-of-way rules
  • Report defects and lock out the machine for the maintenance crew

Must-haves

  • Certificate of fitness from a mine medical practitioner
  • Valid operator certificate for the specific machine, from an MQA-accredited provider
  • Grade 10 at minimum, with Grade 12 strongly preferred
  • Clear understanding of the TMM regulations under Chapter 8 of the MHSA regulations
  • At least 2 years operating the machine in a mining environment
  • Able to work 12-hour shifts on a rotating day and night roster

Helpful, not essential

  • Experience with ultra-class haul trucks
  • Machine training instructor experience
  • Certificates on two or more machine types

What's in it for you

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