Job Description

Operators at this contract mining company near Springs keep the ore moving from face to crusher. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The site is in Springs; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

The work, day to day

  • Report defects and lock out the machine for the maintenance crew
  • Haul ore and waste on the haul road loop to the crusher or dump
  • Drill blast holes to the plan depth and angle marked by the survey team
  • Complete the pre-use inspection checklist for your trackless mobile machine
  • 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

You'll need

  • Certificate of fitness from a mine medical practitioner
  • Clear understanding of the TMM regulations under Chapter 8 of the MHSA regulations
  • Code 10 or Code 14 driver's licence
  • At least 2 years operating the machine in a mining environment

Nice if you have

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

On offer

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