Type

Contract/Temp

Bogger operators wanted at a busy underground hard rock mine in N.QLD - FIFO from Brisbane or Townsville, start ASAP.

  • Profitable, established and expanding mine in N.QLD
  • Wide range of training and development on offer
  • Become an important member of a vastly growing company

The Opportunity & Why Apply!

If you're a production or development bogger operator looking for a good mine, steady work, charter flights from Brissy or Townsville, full camp on site, and a crew that actually functions then read on…

  • 2:2 or 8:6 roster - you know your swing well in advance, no surprises
  • FIFO sorted - charter flights from Brisbane or Townsville, nothing comes out of your pocket
  • Full camp next to site - gym, pool, good food, Telstra and Wi-Fi
  • Competitive rate - temp and perm opportunities available

The Job

You're on the bogger moving material across production and development headings, working alongside the drill and blast crew to keep things on schedule.

  • Working to shot schedules and communicating clearly with the drill and blast crew
  • Running pre-starts properly and identifying faults and hitting KPIs
  • Keeping your eyes on ground conditions and reporting hazards immediately
  • Following blast protocols and exclusion zone procedures
  • Reporting to the Shift Boss and executing the plan efficiently and safely each shift

The Company

The operation has been in the ground long enough and the people running it have done this before. Business is good, the site is expanding and there's genuine scope to grow with it if you want to.

  • Established and profitable operation - work isn't going anywhere
  • New projects close by coming online means more roles, more opportunity and long-term job security
  • The kind of place where if you're good, people notice - and you get rewarded for it

Your Value

Seat time matters - but so does attitude. We need operators who take their pre-starts seriously and bring consistent effort every shift.

  • Seat time on boggers in underground hard rock - this isn't a training role
  • You know your way around UG operations, blast exclusion zones and UG traffic management
  • Manual driver's licence and a clean police check
  • Pass a pre-employment medical
  • Show up, stay safe, look after your crew

Accommodation & FIFO

Remote N.QLD but it's been done up properly and it shows. Charter FIFO from Brisbane or Townsville so minimal travel in and out and close to home.

  • Chefs on site cooking real food with wet and dry mess with decent options every day
  • Your own room, most with an en-suite - not a donger from 2003
  • Gym that's actually worth using, plus a pool for downtime between swings
