Auto Electrician

Modern equipment, quality camp facilities, for an underground gold mine in the Goldfields.

• 8:6 - 7:7 or 2:2 rosters, FIFO or DIDO
• Small crew with a great team culture
• Pathway to perm with a major UG contractor

The Company & Why Join
Join a globally recognised underground mining contractor with an excellent industry reputation and a real commitment to training and developing its people. This role puts you on a well-established underground gold operation in the WA Goldfields, close to Kalgoorlie.

You'll work in a small, close-knit crew of around 50 on site and get hands-on with a brand-new Sandvik fleet; none of the gear on site is second-hand. You start as a contractor, but you'll be treated as a permanent team member from day one, and there's a clear pathway onto the contractor's own books within around 6 months.

About the Role
You'll split your time between the workshop and the field, with a heavier focus on the workshop. The work covers:

• PM work and scheduled maintenance
• Component change-outs and general repairs
• Servicing on a modern underground fleet
• Fault finding, diagnostics and problem solving
• Field breakdowns
• Drill servicing and maintenance

The fleet you'll work on:

• Sandvik DD422iDC development drills
• Sandvik DL432i production drill
• Sandvik LH621i loaders
• Sandvik TH663i trucks
• Ancillary gear: Normet LC605, Volvo L120H loaders and a Komatsu grader

Why This Role

• Choice of rosters: 8:6 / 7:7 or 2:2, all on 12-hour day and night shifts
• FIFO or DIDO. DIDO suits anyone based in Kambalda or Kalgoorlie
• $80 to $95ph + Super as a casual, depending on your underground maintenance experience
• A clear pathway to a permanent role with leave entitlements
• Your own permanent room at a modern camp with an ensuite, air con and streaming TV. No back-to-backing, and you can leave your gear in the room over your break
• Short commute: the airstrip is in Kambalda, site is about 25 minutes from camp, and Woolworths is close by
• A smaller site means plenty of time for training and skill progression, with experienced mentors on hand
• Great team culture, including pizza lunches shouted by the supervisors every few swings
• Gold mining, a stable and secure commodity

About You

• Trade qualified Auto Electrician
