Entry level mining information Why so many new starters fail?

[@TWaz-ys5fb]

Love the info, and love that you keep your face on the videos mate!

[@99drums54]

I do hard rock underground as a mine surveyor liking it so far (doing 2:1 atm but but when I graduate will be on 8:6). Where I work the jumbo was on 2.5k a day!!

[@TheSonic1685]

Yeah mate, that's normal, jumbo operators get paid a shit load of money they're the top dogs of the industry. Only the shiftboss and the foremen earn similar amounts. Jumbo Op's sometimes get jobs overseas where they can earn around 320k a year. But even entry level armchair miners earn 80-100k a year, then as soon as you move into the second tier you can earn 120-150k a year. And the production of the mine can get people bonuses on top of that. Hardrock underground is all about the money. And as Andrew says, most people don't understand this and those that get into the industry can be absolutely steam rolled.

Wonderful information, you are an encyclopaedia of knowledge. Thank you so much.

[@zookie8855]

bloody good information and obvious you care about these workers success and safety in my opinion

[@jasonbourne6323]

Ive preplanned to do your course in the near future mate. I want my best shot at this.

[@AustralianMiningforNewStarters]

Sorry I missed you comment, if you need any help let me know

[@peelypeelmeister6432]

I work for a company that is haemorrhaging operators. We have new operators teaching new operators. The upside? If you want to get a start on pretty much anything its the place to be. The downside of the upside? As soon as people do a few hours they move to better paying work and the company are doing absolutely nothing to entice people to stay.

[@onedrop6011]

Mate that's what it's like where I work but except we don't leave we stay cause we don't have many options here were I live

[@RayHarrison1978]

Peely what’s the best company to apply for if looking to get on?

[@michaelkieran3006]

Where at any jobs going 👀

[@TravellingAlchemist]

I'm working on getting my hr license so I can get into the dump trucks but looking to get a few more tickets to become a multi skilled operator after a year. I'm keen as to get started.

Good information, I'm a mechanic from the UK looking to relocate to the Australian mining industry

[@AustralianMiningforNewStarters]

They are looking for fitters (name for the mining mechanics) all over the country Same thing applies as the operators they want people that know how their mine works so they can be left alone on site The DIY course should sort you out with all that undergroundtraining.com.au/course_info/mining-training-course/ Hope that info helps

@@AustralianMiningforNewStarters Very interesting website mate thanks might sign up for one of the courses. Can you get a job on a 189 Visa Skill independent does that count as a "resident" or do you have to be a citizen ?

[@benrichards5069]

If you're a gun nipper do you get stuck doing it cause the jumbo op doesn't want to loose you.

[@AustralianMiningforNewStarters]

Yes it used to happen, but right now anyone with 6months nippering under their belt should be able to get onto the next level quickly

@TomWoodwardVideos if you want to come back there's heaps of work around the gold and copper mines at the moment Employers are really struggling to get people that know what's going on Nobody wants to hire new starters because it just costs so much money 💰💰💰 with how many people fail

Cheers mate 👍

Another continent, same world. US underground coal for 20 years. Dunno how many newbies I told, "They ain"t paying you the big bucks for your good looks". Your cell phone won't work underground & if it ain't in your lunch bucket, you're not gonna eat it! Lol. Still miss it some days. . . .
