Underground truck operator role with a large mine site in North Queensland.

  • Lifestyle friendly 8:6 / 7:7 roster
  • Full camp and accommodation provided
  • Move your career forward at a major UG mine site in N.QLD

The Opportunity & Why Apply!

If you've got truck experience in underground, civil or earthmoving and your keen on a long-term underground work then this is worth a look…… This role is at an established mine site with a team that knows what it's doing and a roster that gives you structure.

  • Get behind the wheel of underground OEM trucks at a busy and well-established mine in North QLD.
  • 8:6 / 7:7 roster with 12-hour shifts and across both days and nights.
  • FIFO from Brisbane or Townsville - flights sorted, nothing comes out of your pocket
  • Ongoing on-site training and development - real opportunity to build your mining career here.
  • Strong team culture, experienced supervision and a safety-first operation.

The Company

This site has a good track record of developing operators and building long-term careers - this is not a revolving door! The people here stick around because the culture and conditions are worth it.

  • Established operation with long-term work secured and a strong safety record
  • Career pathways for operators who perform - this is a place you can grow
  • Industry-leading safety systems backed by experienced, hands-on leadership
  • Well-resourced site with modern underground equipment and good site infrastructure

The Role & Duties

Join a close-knit crew focused on haulage and keeping the operation moving. Reporting to the Shift Boss, day-to-day includes:

  • Operating underground mining trucks - in an active production environment
  • Working to shift and swing targets to support continuous underground production
  • Conducting pre-starts, basic maintenance checks and reporting faults before they become issues
  • Following strict site safety procedures and underground operating standards at all times
  • Communicating clearly with the Shift Boss and crew to keep things running smoothly
  • Assisting with general underground tasks as required by the shift boss

The Site & Camp

Stay at a good camp with a social atmosphere, close to site and comfortable enough that you'll actually enjoy your downtime between shifts.

  • Air-conditioned rooms with en-suite facilities - your own space
  • Mess with great meals and a good range of food and drink options
  • Pool, basketball, tennis and more - plenty to do between swings
  • 4G Telstra coverage so you stay connected with home
  • Short distance from camp to site - no lengthy travel at the start or end of shift

Your Value

Heavy operating experience is the baseline - underground is ideal but civil and haulage backgrounds are genuinely considered. Attitude and reliability will set you apart here.

  • Experience operating heavy machinery with exposure to Sandvik, Epiroc or CAT is a real advantage
  • Team focused, hardworking and the right attitude to learning.
  • Strong safety awareness and the discipline to follow underground operating procedures
  • Reliable, physically fit and able to work 12-hour shifts across a full swing
  • Current Australian driver's licence
  • Pass a pre-employment mining medical and national police check
