So basically fake it tell you make it brother?
Apply directly through the mining company for entry level positions in underground, if you have a manual car licence can pass a medical an a national police check then that’s a lot of what you need.
Keithy, I’m 35 with basically zero trade experience. Does age or lack of experience make a difference? Would appreciate some advice or input. Cheers
Im fom namibia in africa i have extensive experience in open pit minnig ..drill operator for eleven years
Hello Keithy, Thanks for the informative video. I am planning to go WA in the end of this month to work in FIFO.
I would like to start my truck driving career in the mining sites. What kind of truck driving license in Australia would be good starter for a beginner just like me?
If you want to get into mining the first thing you need to do is move to the resource powerhouse that is Western Australia, don’t pussyfoot around with pansy eastern states mining.
I read online that some people work at a site for 6 months and earn enough money to take the rest of the year off is this true and realistic or are they just talking it up?
Hello Keith,
What are the odds of a 19 y/o Irish lad on a working holiday visa landing a job in the mines? Is there any point in giving it a go or should I look at other options?

Hey Keith, I have just finished my first year at uni in new Zealand and have decided its not really for me. I have been looking at mines for the past two years now. My mates father owns an earth moving company in NZ, should I be working with him for 6 months and try get as many licenses as possible before heading to WA ? Any courses you know about that would be helpful to get into mines (e.g. First aid …). Cheers Bro

I’ve been researching for some time in mining jobs. My kids are in Oz so am contemplating making the move from NZ to be closer to them but still want my freedom. I work in the health industry here but definitely been looking for another change. Have always wanted to drive trucks so gonna enrol myself into a course and get the ball rolling. Thanks for sharing this vid… has been really helpful.
Anyone in Australia can get a fifo job due to lack of labour.
80% of fifo workers couldn’t land a job in the other states due to high demand of quality labour.
A 19 year old can get a fifo job
how will be the life of a mining engineer in Australia mines? could you elaborate.should he be in a mine for entire 12hrs in a day?
Hey mate
looking to get into the mines and get into the shotfiring field any advise on tickets or courses that are necessary thanks mate
Is there an legit internet page where I can find a fifo job? Please.. I need a recommendation.
Im convinced its a rigged system. Ive been told twice by mining HR Reps (not on the record) that i need to be a woman or Aboriginal. Ive been trying for 12 years since and have more tickets than a roll of toilet paper. Ill keep trying but i still think the recruitment process is unfair to all that apply.
I’m from Ireland have articulated dumper ticket any advice
Hey Keith, thanks for the informative video on your experience. I’d like to give FIFO a go. Just want to ask which type of work would you recommend for someone who is dealing with Social Anxiety?
Any good money as a truck driver in the mines? Only 18 but need to start somewhere with making money.
Hi Keith,
Sorry fo being silent,this is just because of network failures on site,
Yes i do have Certifications for Operator trainings and certificate of service as well, my experience is quite realy wide together with trainer trainings that i attended and work for it as the Multi Machines Trainer, in this level i believe i am going to fit in any of the Heavy Equipment tasks.
If you know any Company that i may introduce my self, kindly share with me their email adress to start communicating with them.
I hope you know many companies there mate!☺
I love how much you emphasised doing the right thing by your mate. If someone sticks their neck out for you there’s no point screwing them over.
Hi Keith,
