About the Role

With more than 15 years of mine life ahead of us, there’s never been a better time to join our underground team. We take pride in the ground we work in – competent rock, a strong safety culture and a modern Sandvik fleet that sets you up for success.

Whether you’re breaking into the industry or bringing years of experience, you’ll find a supportive team environment with real pathways for development. Our current remnant mining presents technically challenging work that will sharpen your skills, build depth in your capability and expose you to precision mining practices.

As we grow across the belt, our satellite operations are creating opportunities for exposure to different ore bodies and mining environments, including upcoming narrow vein and paste-fill operations. This provides variety in your day-to-day work and the chance to broaden your underground capability across multiple styles of mining.

With that growth also comes the opportunity to step up – sharing your knowledge, mentoring newer operators and helping build strong crews as our operations expand.

Backed by long-term job security and genuine progression pathways, this is a place where you can build a sustainable underground career while continuing to develop your skills.

Key Responsibilities

As an experienced Underground Truck Operator, you'll play an important role in supporting safe and productive gold mining operations across our growing underground business. Working with experienced crews and operating a modern Sandvik fleet, you'll be responsible for the safe and efficient haulage of ore and waste while contributing to the delivery of production targets.

This opportunity offers genuine variety. You may work within our established underground operation or across our developing satellite deposits, gaining exposure to different mining environments and becoming part of a team committed to safety, teamwork and operational excellence.
