• Up to $75ph through Marble + a pathway to permanent employment within 6 months
• Even-time 7:7 roster with camp accommodation and meals provided

The Opportunity

Join an established national mining contractor specialising in ground support for underground hard rock mine. Based at Renison Bell Mine in Tasmania, you'll work in a small maintenance crew supporting a modern fleet of cable bolters, spray equipment and mobile plant.

If you've worked on mobile plant or quarry equipment and want to get into underground mining, your experience will be considered. Underground hard rock experience is highly regarded.

The Role

You'll split your time between the surface workshop and underground field service. The fleet includes a Sandvik DS421 cable bolter, Normet Spraymechs and agitators, an Elphinstone agitator, a Volvo IT loader and light vehicles.

• Carry out scheduled servicing and preventative maintenance
• Diagnose mechanical, hydraulic and electrical faults and respond to breakdowns
• Service and repair cable bolters and spray equipment underground
• Use schematics and technical drawings to troubleshoot faults

• 7 days on, 7 days off, with swings running Thursday to Wednesday
• 12-hour shifts across days and nights, starting at 6:30am or 6:30pm
• Camp accommodation and meals provided, around 15 minutes from site
• Renison Bell Mine is around 2 hours and 50 minutes from Launceston

Pay & Pathway to Permanent

You'll start through Marble at $68-$75ph + super, working alongside the client's maintenance crew. The client intends to transition contractors into permanent roles within six months, based on skills, attitude and performance.

You'll have access to OEM training, ongoing technical support and opportunities to progress within the wider mining services group.

What You'll Bring

• A recognised diesel mechanical trade qualification, or a light vehicle trade qualification backed by relevant equipment experience
• Experience maintaining mobile plant, quarry or mining equipment
• Strong mechanical skills and exposure to hydraulic and electrical systems
• Confidence reading schematics and working independently
• A strong safety focus, reliable approach and high standard of workmanship

Underground hard rock equipment experience, drill servicing experience or a dual diesel fitter and auto electrical trade will be highly regarded.
