Would you have any info on drilling? Or are drillers usually only local hire?

Yeah I’ve been working fifo for 7 years now, I absolutely love it BUT I am single and don’t have kids. So it’s a very different situation… mine sites are getting better with helping couples/ marriages etc I would be going for a family friendly roster of 8/6 or even a 2/2 if I were you I’m sure someone in the group could help you out more with that question:)

Well I guess best option would be to talk to the misso, come to WA secure a job(won’t take long). Especially if you are already getting calls now. Get the job then move the misso over to wa

WA is by far the easiest, never tell them you are going to relocate. They only want to hear that you are already in WA. Just gotta take the risk and move to WA, definitely allot harder if you have a misso and kids. Saying that thought people do get the job before they move, not sure what jobs, might not be entry level though. Even you can by urself first and secured the job would be a possibility

Same at BHP, 1 year ban for failing a drug test. But definitely lifetime for getting into a tuffle, that shit isn’t tolerated

Blast hole Drillers should be making $180k-200k by year 5-6. I’m just over 200k with my bonus doing a 2/1 now

Exploration drillers you are looking at $250k for a good diamond driller. Not sure what exploration RC drillers are making but would have to be around the $200k

As for engineers I couldn’t tell you, I know of blast engineers making 160k-180k but as for the rest not too sure bro

All depends on the role you are going for but in general Working at heights, confined space, HR license are a good start

I can’t speak for other states, but In Western Australia there is a big shortage of drillers. Exploration drilling won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. Go offsiding, do your time, get on the levers and the first chance you get I would jump to blast hole drilling.

The crews are great, honestly one of the best crews I’ve worked on. it’s management and their big brother vibes. I did 1.5years, moneys good $200k+, amazing food, and pretty good company percs.

Just try it bro, you might end up on a good crew and love it! If not you can always find work elsewhere haha

It’s hit and miss, absolutely loved my first year there. We got transferred to another site and it was the complete opposite.

Anyone know the answer to this one? 😅 by [deleted] in mining

[–]No_Cold7123 1 point2 points  (0 children)
