New UG electrician contract in N.QLD, four roles up for grabs. Ground-floor opportunity, 2:2 roster, top camp. Won't stay open long!

  • Brand new UG contract in N.QLD, 2:2 roster, FIFO from Cairns/Townsville
  • Sole UG Shift Electrician on crew, genuine path to leading hand as site grows
  • Top-tier camp and facilities, long-term security once you're through the door

Why This One Stands Out

A genuine ground-floor opportunity on a brand new UG contract, with long-term security once you're through the door.

  • 2:2 roster, FIFO from Cairns and Townsville
  • Camp facilities and food that punch above industry standard
  • Watch the project grow from establishment through to full production
  • Step into AutoMine training within 12 months
  • Sole UG Shift Electrician on crew, alongside a highly experienced team

The Company
A leading underground hard rock mining contractor with projects nationally and internationally, known as an employer people want to work for.

  • Invests heavily in employee development and upskilling
  • Consistent work means consistent opportunities for their people
  • Broad OEM training exposure
  • Genuine safety-first culture and reputation for quality

The Site
A well-established, highly regarded North Queensland operation that's been investing in its people, gear and facilities for years.

  • Industry-leading production and profitability
  • One of the best mining camps in Australia
  • Continued growth and development of its orebodies

Roster & Travel
A lifestyle-friendly 2:2 roster, flying in on company time from day one.

  • 14 days on (days and nights), 14 off
  • Fly in Thursday, work 7 day shifts, fly home Thursday after 7 nights
  • FIFO from Townsville or Cairns via charter flight

The Role
Reporting to the Project Manager, taking ownership of the electrical division across day and night shift, a genuine chance to step into a leading hand role as the site grows.

  • Fault finding and breakdown repairs on underground drills (Jumbos & Cablebolters)
  • 1000V and 11kV reticulation
  • Maintenance on fans, pumps and vents
  • HV power supply, including substations and switching (where signed off)
  • Statutory work and auditing

What You'll Bring
You'll be working autonomously across days and nights, so underground hard rock experience is essential.

  • Cert III Electrotechnology and UG hard rock mining experience
  • Solid knowledge of drill servicing, plus fans, pumps and vents
  • HV switching and substation experience highly regarded, though not essential
  • A mature, level head ready to step up and take ownership

Next Steps
Don't miss your shot at getting in on the ground floor of a brand-new project with a highly regarded operator in North Queensland. Call Ellie Smith on 0448 546 386 for a full position pack and confidential chat.
