$2500 Per Day in Mining?
$2500 Per Day in Mining
For those that don’t know, there is a job within the mining industry (not entry level), that is currently paying between $2500 to $3000 a day for those at the top of their game. The job is a Twin Boom Jumbo Development Operator and it pays $2500 Per Day in Mining. The West Australian Newspaper has just done an article about it that we featured in, the article pictured and a link is below
$2500 Per Day in Mining come with even time rosters, which are either, week on, week off or 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off, you get 20 days (some companies do 25 days) annual leave and 10 days sick leave as well. This means for most of these even time jobs if you take your annual leave you only work 23 weeks of the year, which makes for some serious time off for your life style on $2500 Per Day in Mining. This is how your career can progress from a $98k entry level job to a $500k plus Jumbo operator job in 5 to 10 years and yes the $500k plus is still only working the 23 weeks a year, you only have to read the article or watch the video below to work that one out.
How can I start this career?
The easiest way to start a career to get to $2500 Per Day in Mining, is to follow our 2 simple rules
- Go where the employers have no choice but to hire new starters
- Give them what they want, someone that knows how the mine works
Going where the employers have no choice to hire new starters, includes areas in the north of QLD, in the middle of NSW and of course here in WA, around Kalgoorlie and FIFO from Perth. These are the hot spots, but there are mines looking for new starters in Gold mines all around Australia. You only have to look at our Mining Jobs to Apply for page or type “Underground” into seek, to see all the jobs.
That leaves the second rule, giving the employers want they want. This is where people delude themselves into thinking that something other than knowing how the employers mine works, is going to help the employer and help them get a job. No amount of equipment experience helps the employer, if you need a babysitter for the first 3 months, because you can’t get your head around how the mine works. The longer you need a babysitter the more the pressure gets ramped up and the more people fail.
I can’t make this any clearer to new starters, that teaching someone to drive the underground truck is the easy part. It only takes a couple of weeks, they are point and shoot, hydraulic steering, automatics. They are the most expensive trucks you will have ever driven ($3million to $4.5million each), but the easiest. The problem is teaching that person enough about how the mine works, so they can be left alone to drive the truck on their own. This is the hard part and the reason more than 50% of green new starters fail in the first 6 months. Even the ones with lots of equipment experience fail at this rate because if you can’t be left alone to do the job safely then you just don’t have a job.
It’s as simple as that, pure sink or swim training, with lots of people sinking. When if they had done the training and learnt how it all worked before they went, then they would have had a completely different result. Knowing how the employers mine works puts you 6 to 8 weeks ahead of everyone else applying for jobs and how the training helps people get jobs. You can checkout our Wall of Fame page to see just how many people have used the training to get jobs.
