agree with all of this, been in the industry since i was 20 so for past 5 years... still learning everyday and still paying for my own training to further my skills unless of course its inhouse.
realistically if your not a supervisor...uld be expecting between 3-500 a day on the typical mine site. contractors/ supervisors like myself or shutdown crew you generally double that figure but its no long term. if you dont like excessive heat or excessive cold and dirty conditions then its not for you...if you dont like people and woking hard and getting along with those next to you...then its not for you. small rooms, lots of flights in and out...limited after work things to do -pub or gym in most cases... no one likes a winger...so if your a complainer...dont even bother because ul be on the first window seat home... safety is absolutely everything on a minesite so id suggest to go and do a cert 3 as a minimum... i wouldnt even look at your resume if there was no safety induction of sorts on there...white card/ blue card etc... harsh......but realistic... try hays, mms, rms, cxc global, morris, ess.... boart longyear are hiring, cat and westrac are also hiring att he moment with 2 more construction sites opening up east of WA. id suggest aiming really low -like a cleaner...then get mobilised to site...look on the notice boards and apply within once onsite. mobilisation is the hardest and longest part. medical DNA test...inductions etc...all take time. we all work hard up there on 12-14 hr shifts....and put up with it...so we can enjoy things like our cars when we get home...

You could always get into process plant design drafting and earn similar $$ while staying here in Perth.
I'm in structural and good designers are earning over $100/hr. Mechanical and pipers would be the same.

I know with Structural, Mechanical and Piping, you generally need a diploma in Mechanical or Strucural engineering, although this is not a pre-requisite. Some companies will hire you as a trainee drafter and you can either get your diploma while working, or they wont even bother making you get one. Not sure if you need to get any formal qualifications for electrical design drafting, but with your experience I reckon you get at least get a look in. Remember though, like any new career, you don't earn the good $$ until you've been around for awhile. There is PLENTY of work out there for designers

The OH's department was the main reason i left. On the induction day with greenies first time UG, they weren't even shown how to scale properly or how to use the damn scaling bar. Being at other sites where I was shown how to do things the right way made me think that the safety representatives had no idea what they're supposed to do at this site. The amount of short cuts taken is very sad. However Barminco is way better than ACM, worked for them couple years and never had any dramas. Mining has changed since the first time I started working underground. You had to earn up and work like a slave to move up the ladder and yet till today I'm still learning. |
