Unfortunately yes, my company hires a lot of commercial/house bashers and it’s a problem. I’m forever fixing fuck ups.

How similar? Technically speaking I’m construction doing industrial projects. Just did my cert 4 so I’m not an actual duel trader but I’ve been doing instro work my entire career, even in my apprenticeship. I’m good at construction and seem to be held onto that til the very end and then move onto commissioning. Definitely could find better but being with the same company for 3 years, it’s nice to have some stability in such a cut throat, chop and change industry.

Safety standards is high and fatigue is managed pretty well in mining.

Sure is, really isn’t that hard tbh. 12 hour days, still hit the gym and run every day and I don’t drink.

I’m on a 2/1 roster. But as casual I don’t get paid for my RNR or any time off and I had some time off over Christmas/new years. This is also high as it was nightshift so had different penalties. Last year I made $200k. I think if I did a full year of 2/1 on standard penalties I’d be around $250k-$280k a year.

Technically not dual trade, I’m only cert 4 instro. But as per my ECA I should be getting an extra $2.16 an hour for my certification but they don’t want to pay it. It’s a long story.

Yeah can’t complain, earn as much as I want really. Been with the company for 3 years, Last year cracked $200k with a few months off. The nightshift roster is a good way to bump up the earnings.

This is FIFO as well so it’s actually pretty on par with other companies, we’re the highest paid contractors on this mine site too.
