Mining Job Hunt Videos
Where New Starters Find Their Way in Hardrock Mining
Curious about where to kick-start your mining career? Our sponsored YouTube channel, Australian Mining for New Starters, offers a series of job hunt videos dating back to late 2020—and they’re still being updated.
Take a look:
These videos don’t just show you where the jobs are; they dive into key issues like ticketing procedures, why the media mainly covers degree and trade roles, and how you really only need a manual car license (for driving an underground truck) plus some insider mining knowledge to get started.
The insights shared could be the game changer you need to break into the industry with confidence.
Job Hunt & Mining Information – 29/06/2025
In today’s video I am looking how the industry is structured and not just mining. We are going to use a few slides put together by the office. I will show the different areas of the industry and explain how they are all different. We will look at the jobs on seek using the key words mining truck, underground, mining construction, mining civil, mining shutdown, oil & gas, driller offsider and utility jobs.
3.55 Seek using “mining truck”
5.22 Seek using “underground”
6.38 Seek using “mining construction”
7.34 Seek using “mining civil”
7.50 Seek using “mining shutdown”
8.55 Seek using “oil & gas”
9.35 Seek using “driller offsider”
10.10 Seek using “utility jobs”
As always it pays to know how the system works to take advantage of it. Knowing how the mine works, is the skill all the employers want and need, that most New Starters overlook, when trying to get their first job.
Job Hunt & Mining Information – 22/06/2025
In this video I’ll reveal the key to landing a production mining job—and exactly where to start looking. We’ll talk about real underground roles, break down what the job actually involves, and take a quick look at gold prices to give you a sense of the industry outlook.
At 1:52, I’ll show you how to search Seek using the keyword “underground” to find active listings and opportunities.
The reality is, most new starters don’t fail because they’re lazy—they fail because they don’t understand how the system works. Knowing how a mine operates is the skill that employers value most, yet it’s often overlooked by those just starting out.
Educate yourself, build the right knowledge, and put yourself in the best position to land the mining job you want.
