@@Ray-Bradbury-o5s thanks for your question. The hottest towns to go to at the moment if you want a mining job. Kalgoorlie in Western Australia, Perth in Western Australia (it can be difficult to get a fly in fly out if you're on a working holiday Visa, but if you're a permanent resident or a kiwi, they're screaming for people) Mount Isa Queensland and Cobar New South Wales (and the surrounding areas Parks, Orange, Dubbo all have big mines surrounding them looking for people) Just make sure that you know what you're getting yourself into before you drive out to one of these towns. Over the years I've watched lots of people drive to Kalgoorlie, fail spectacularly and have to drive home because they didn't know what they were getting themselves into It's one of the reasons I'm so passionate about the training because it teaches you all the good stuff and the bad stuff that you need to know about the industry. So you know 100%, if it's going to be for you or not Hope that information helps, if you have any more questions let me know 👍

@@dominicocallaghan6167 thanks for the feedback and questions Your plan to go to Kalgoorlie is a good one. The only thing that I would suggest is that you look at doing the DIY package (Or one of the ones that does your resume as well) so you can have a look at the underground off-siding jobs as well. There is probably more underground off-siding jobs going at the moment than surface ones. Just the way the industry is with the metal prices (Gold $4200 an ounce Australian) at the moment We've had people go to Kalgoorlie and get different results. Like you said. Some people have a good result and others struggle. I think that's got more to do with the employer looking at them and saying, "is it going to take me 3 months to get this person up to speed or can I get this person up to speed in 3 or 4 weeks" If it's going to take 3 months then obviously that's something that the employers aren't going to want to be into and again that's where the training really helps I think that's where you get the different responses from different people, how well they've prepared themselves and the type of jobs that they're going after As for getting trained up as a driller, I'm not sure how that would go being on a working holiday Visa, but if you're doing a good job then I'm sure that they will want to train you so they can take advantage and use you as a fill in driller With people that go and do the drillers offsiders jobs that come in on overseas visas one of the advantages (that the employers seem to like) is that they can be moved around easily and are happy to move after 6 months, which is the way the companies get around the 6-month rule The more study you can do and the more you can do while you're still overseas before you arrive the easier it all is. There'll still be a few days of mucking around and getting your licence sorted out and a tax file number and a Medicare number and all that sort of stuff. So allow a week of mucking around but you really need to know all the mining information before you get here if you want to hit the ground running We get a lot of people that arrive and then work out that they need to know how it all works and then they try and do the training and it just adds an extra 2 to 3 weeks to everything that could have been done before you arrived I hope that answers your question. Thanks for watching and if you've got any more questions let me know

@@SmashingBricksAU hi everybody that I talk to, that calls me about these driverless trucks and the traineeships associated with them. For all the big iron ore companie they all say the same thing, starting salaries less than $80,000 a year. And if you're trying to make over $100k, you'd have to move into a supervisory role or be with them for an extended period of time to get the mandatory pay increases that people get every year Working as a tire fitter or as a fitter can be a good way to go. Undergrounds also a good way to go because they're not going to be able to send it driverless anytime soon because of the exclusion zones The biggest problems that you've got with the tire fitting rolls is what they've done with the shutdown work. They've created training centres to put people through the training that they need to go and do shutdown work and thats lowered the price significantly that you can get working in those jobs. Unfortunately, I think the same thing will happen to tire fitters in the future to try and just get their labour costs down. Not something that I agree with, but that's the way mining works Hope that information helps

@@MethewSmeth you need to be the first one down the hole to get a load and the last one getting a load out at the end of the day People tell you that they don't pay attention to how many loads the truckies get, but I can tell you for a fact that all the shift bosses and the foremans know exactly who is getting their loads up for the day and who isn't, who's the first one down there, who's spending extra time in the crib room. It all comes into it. You just need to show them that you're into working and you're going to work hard. And the other thing that happens is that you'll get cycled through service crew (normally when your truck's in for a service) and that's the good thing about having done the training, it gives you knowledge about service crew to start with. So you can be helpful right from the very start. If you can be helpful right from the very start, that's how you get asked to go back and help them again. And that's your way that people get pushed up onto service crew quickly I hope that answers your question

@@jamesaustralian9829 if you educate yourself to how the mine works then you've got something to offer them The experience that they're asking for, you can't get anywhere else but on a mine site through the training that they provide or the training we provide, it is the only non-employer training in the country that actually teaches you the skills and the knowledge that the employers want Teaching you how to drive the truck only takes a couple of weeks. Nobody fails at that, what everybody struggles with is learning enough about how it all works so they can be left alone to get on with it by themselves The longer you need somebody in there with you, the more they ramp up the pressure and the more people they go through. It's been like that the whole 30 years of my mining career Hope that information helps. There are lots of jobs out there that people have got that have used the training that are not foreigners or diversity hires, just normal Australians looking for a better life and a better job Hope that information helps

@@yakadaka687 great South Park episode and yes they did on the surface

If you do the training before you go the success rate goes from less than 50% to over 90%. The more you know before you start the easier it is to make it work when you get to site and not get blindsided This is a link to one of the other videos I have done on people failing and why ua-cam.com/video/lzGje3VcSyY/v-deo.htmlsi=Kyla5Zc-1iAqKPQj Hope this info helps

MRL are trying to go driverless up north with the Quads, but it seems to be harder than they thought, I have been told that they keep crashing

@@Ray-Bradbury-o5s they're not exempt from that 6-month rule unless you're working in the north of the country, like Mt Isa which is a good place to go to The other position to target is drills offsider as this allows you to move around to different sites after the 6-month period, which employers seem willing to do. It's been a bit hit and miss with employers at the moment with people on working holiday visas, as it depends on the experience that they had with the last person that they employed. Going to a mining town makes a big difference, as they need bums in seats. So if you're standing in front of them it's pretty easy for them to employ you and use you up for 6 months in the job they need done We've had a number of people do the training and have some success and we've also had a few people that have struggled so it's a bit of a mixed bag at the moment to be honest with you Hope that answers your question

@AustralianMiningforNewStarters thanks a ton

The big thing is the wages they go from 25 truck drivers costing then $3million a year to 4 people costing them $300k a year

@@ryanking166 hi Ryan, to answer your question most sites have on-site accommodation that you stay at while you are working and then you go and have your time off at home whether that is fly in fly out to get you there or drive in drive out to get you there. It's up to the employer If the mines located near a big country town, then often they are looking for people to reside in the town where they won't offer accommodation. You'll have to find your own but it normally says that in the job ads but most of the big mines around the country all have on-site accommodation that they can put people in Hope that answers your question

@AustralianMiningforNewStarters thanks for the reply mate. So from what you're saying - am I right in thinking that unless the job add says "Residential Only" it's pretty safe to assume accommodation is included? Also, sorry to be annoying but as far as medicals go - in your experience, would someone who is deaf in one ear be knocked back? Thanks again.

@ryanking166 yes, it's pretty safe to say if it doesn't say residents only then they normally supply accommodation, but it's always something that you can ask in the interview Being deaf in one ear shouldn't hold you back. I work with a lot of guys that were deaf over the years. They're more worried about people losing their hearing than people that have already lost their hearing There's more information in the training about how it all works, but you should be right as long as you've got hearing in one ear If you haven't had a look at the DIY package that we do, you should have a look at that before you jump in the deep end. It's got a lot of information in there that'll make it a lot easier to get the job and keep the job Hope that info helps

@@AustralianMiningforNewStarters thanks so much for taking the time to answer questions whenever needed, I really appreciate all the information you give out and will definitely be looking at starting the training in the new year

@@michael2442 it's normally in an underground mine where they do the diamond drilling, but we've had situations where they've put the diamond drillers up on the surface when the ore body is still closer to the surface The only downside of being on the surface is getting sunburned and all the flies. You don't get that in the underground mine Hope that answers your question

@@michael2442 well done on the job as well

@ thank you very much, is it always an entry level or traineeship sometimes, also does the course you offer just do info about the mind sites, I don’t need the resume or job packages one

@@michael2442 yes Michael, the information that you need to know about your job and what everybody else does around you is in the first four courses that make up the training. It's only the seminar that contains the info to do your resume. The DIY package is the cheapest way to buy the four courses as you get a discount down to the $495 There's information in basic mine site operation, nipper and other important duties and the service crew that you need to know to be a diamond driller offsider It'll give you a fair bit of knowledge that you won't get through your employer and it'll also give you options if you want to go do something else after 6 months Hope that info helps

If you want a job in Australia you will need to find a mining company to sponsor you or get a visa that doesn't require an employer to sponsor you like a WHV's

@AustralianMiningforNewStarters I am 37 years.I am not going to WHV

@@vikashmandal3817 then you'll need to get a company to sponsor you, which will be extremely difficult and we can't help you with that Sorry

Well done on the job

@@ryanking166 yes, I've worked with a few miners over the years that have been deaf in one ear. I had a shift boss that was actually deaf in both ears and he just used to take his hearing aids off to put his hearing protection on. Well. That's what he used to tell us 👍 Hope that answers your question

No problems. If you got any questions feel free to ask them and we'll put them into a video

It depends on the mine but normally the people that get moved onto service crew come from either position (just depends on the person and what is going on in the mine) The employers are looking for people that want to have a go and you normally get your opportunity when there rotate the truck drivers through the service crew There is an element of luck involved in the sense that if the jobs above you open up then people can end up in a paste crew or service crew role quickly Hope that answers your question

@AustralianMiningforNewStarters no worries, is there any benefit long term to trying both Nipper and Truckie for a bit?

@kirboturbo6932 most companies get you to rotate through both positions when you're starting out. They like everybody to be able to do things so you can be thrown in if somebody doesn't turn up for work There's no advantage being in either job long-term. Most people master the job after 3 to 4 months and then they're looking to move on to something else and learn something else

@AustralianMiningforNewStarters ok that's awesome, thanks for the info, absolute legend

@@stephenpascoe5870 been doing this since the end of '94 and never had a T/A working on an underground mine with me. You're calling it the wrong thing, if they're working on drill rigs underground then they're offsiders. If they're working with the jumbo, it'll be a Nippers job You only have to type underground in to seek to see that there are no TA jobs Underground. I don't know where you're getting your information from. I know there are a lot of people running around saying that they know about mining but turns out all they are ex utility workers with no actual mining experience or they were service people that pump grease into the vehicles and have no actual practical mining experience

A lot of companies view the Nipper and Truck job on the same level and will require new starters to able to do both You will learn more as a Nipper than in the Truck but to climb the ladder it's all about having a go at whatever you are doing, you would be surprised at how many people get up there and just don't have a go Whatever job you get just make sure you do 6 months in your first job, makes it hard to get another job if you don't get to the 6 month mark Hope that info helps

@@AustralianMiningforNewStarters you have always been so thoughtful with replying, thankyou, I know everyone has things going on, and appreciate you replying back always!

Hi thanks for the comment and question No you don't need any equipment tickets to get the entry level jobs on a gold or copper mine these are some of the videos I have done on Tickets in Hardrock mining (different rules to coal) www.youtube.com/@AustralianMiningforNewStarters/search?query=tickets%20in%20mining The easiest way in, is to use the training to learn how their mine works, it gives you a point of difference and helps you if you get a buddy that not that good Hope that info helps

No sorry, you need to be in the country (Australia) before the employers will look at you and they want mining experience or knowledge, machinery experience won't be enough, if you have a look at the videos on the channel it explains what the employers are after Hope this info helps

Yes you have to relocate but the other problem is the jobs/trucks on the surface are being replaced with driverless trucks Lots of work in the underground side of things where they can't use the driverless trucks because of the exclusion zones This is a link to our page that explains how it all works undergroundtraining.com.au/autonomous-trucks-in-mining/ Hope this info helps

@@SandeepB_ not a problem. If you have got any questions that you want to ask, let me know and we'll answer them on a video 👍

This is how we help people get production mining jobs Underground Training, does training for the entry level jobs that are in the Hardrock underground mining industry. You only need a manual license, you don’t need any equipment tickets as the employers they deal with have to issue their own onsite equipment tickets and procedures. Those jobs are nipper, truck operator, service crew, paste crew, and offsider If you type "underground" into seek you will see all the jobs come up. They also have a page that they load jobs on, you can apply for, on their site. Employers are looking for entry-level people on most hard rock underground mine's around Australia. They all have the same problem, teaching someone to drive the truck is the easy part. Teaching them enough about how the mine works, so they can be left alone to drive the truck on their own, that’s the hard part and why there is a high turnover of new starters. Knowing how the mine works is a skill all employers need their employees to have (which most new starters overlook). So, if you can show the employer that you know how their mine works and what's going to be expected of you working on their mine site, then you have something to offer them. Showing the employer that you know how the system works is a huge advantage and puts you 6 to 8 weeks ahead of everyone else they are interviewing for these jobs. When I say "system", I'm talking about the culture, language, employment process, everything that makes up the work environment. This is all about setting yourself up for success in the industry and being ready to be thrown in the deep end. Below is the link to the DIY introduction to underground mining training package, there are full instructions on how to redo your resume (it takes about 2 hours to do yourself) and interview prep questions as well as a mining company to apply to directly. If you want your resume done for you checkout our 3 Step Plan package. If you want help getting in, they also do a Workready package, where you get a ticketed WA shift boss to help you with the mining information, redo your resume, interview prep and come up with a plan of where and how to get in.

Dont think he knows too much about drillers offsider. Ive been going for 3 months and you will never be stronger in your life doing this. The job is hardcore. 5-10kg i dont think so... the rods are 20k and im lifting between 50-250 times in 1 go depending how deep you are when you need to change the bit. The tube is 40kg. You dont need to be a gym junkie but you need to be conditioned to hard work. My fingers are 50% thicker than when i started, my wrists are fked every day, common practice for all offsiders is to pop pain killers (neurofen) every start of shift. I heard the same thing about drillers offsiding that its not that bad etc. Its a shit job mate.

1 more thing is that a lot depends on who your driller is. Its only you and them for 11 hours a day for 2 weeks.

@@MethewSmeth tx for that info buddy

​@MethewSmeth as an offsider when you're assigned to a driller n he turns out to be a real chunt how do you deal with it? There a chance you get a Windows seat if you get a punch on with them? How do you cope with all the 12 hr days n dealing with pricks non stop?

@nicktubara if they're a chunt make sure you don't talk about it to anyone, I learnt that the hard way. There are offsiders at the bottom then drillers then site supervisors then somewhere in the food chain someone above supervisor < ask this person for a site shift and they should ask your supervisor about you and if word is that you're a good worker then they should be happy to move you. I was passed around 5 drillers all of whom I worked on well with until my permanent driller who was an old cunt. Just asked the operator for a site shift and that was the end of it. Remember that if you've got a position it most likely means someone has left.

Thanks for the comment and the pit ram or mine controller job as it is sometimes called is all about logging the loads (the trucks bring up) and making sure they get to the right place

It depends most people with those qualifications end up driving fuel or explosives to site If you want a mining production job use the training below to learn how it all works undergroundtraining.com.au/course_info/mining-training-course/ If you know how it all works it puts you 6 to 8 weeks ahead of everyone else that they are looking at for these jobs Hope this info helps
