Mining Job Hunt Videos

Want to know where a new starter can look for a job in the Hardrock Mining Industry. These job hunt videos are from our sponsored YouTube channel Australian Mining for New Starters.
The video’s go back to late 2020 (you can see them on the YouTube channel) and run though to the current one posted here. They cover more than just where the jobs are, they explain the issues with tickets, why the media only cover the degree and trade jobs and how you only need a manual car license (to drive an Underground Truck) and some inside mining knowledge to start your mining career.

In today’s video I will cover how training works on site with the buddy system, why they use it and how you as the new starter can be adversely affected by it. I will look at the underground jobs to apply for on seek and go through the prices of Gold, Copper, Iron Ore and Coal.

See where the Hardrock (Gold, Nickel, Copper, Zinc etc..) mining jobs are, most people think getting the job is the hard part, when its only a small part of the battle.You have to make it past 6months to win the war and make it in the industry.
It’s not as easy as people think to find your feet and many struggle to give the employers what they want.
The best way to avoid this, is to know how the mine works and what you are going to be expected to do before you get there. The more you know before you go the better your chance of making it.
