G'day,

Name: Maddison Murphy

Qualifications/licenses:

Hi, I'm looking for a job, anything that will give me $1000 p/w lifestyle.
In willing and able to work in almost ANY place or situation, I'm not afraid to break a nail or stub my toe, provided you give me water, I will work outdoors to no end. :)

I'm seeking a new direction in my career path, as the current workplace is not giving me the stimulation or opportunity for learning the I'd hoped.

If you would be interested in speaking to me, or would like a copy of my CV, please call/text:
0412 015 118
or email me:
wormbo2@hotmail.com

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and wish me luck!

[stumps.]

You want 52k a year?

[evoeata]

Call chandler McLeod. They are the labour hire clowns for nickel west. Should be able to get something underground at Leinster/cliffs or mt Keith. Nipper or jumbo offsider or something.

[Bomber]

A thou a week is about 75kpa. You can earn that easy in Perth.

[Buckets]

Entry level position. Pays alright, plenty of scope for moving up / on when you want. A bit of propaganda about the job here.

BTW Cliff if you read this I'd be ringing our HR department to remind them your still alive before they go filling all the positions again.

[S133LTR]

Claim your part aboriginal on your cv.. The big guys will be fighting to employ you.

[wormbo2]

Stumps: no, I want 300k+ for sipping mojito's by the pool, and buying WHITE VX SS's!! ;)

EVOEATA, will look into that thoroughy. Cheers.

Phizzle: calculator's broken mang...

Buckets: cheers for links man!

[Bomber]

So you want a thou a week and don't want to work in Perth? Just fuckin say so.

Oh, I have done recruiting for mining companies and currently work for BHP so you want some advice/leads from me or not? Cause I'll tell you how far being a smart pingpingpingping will get you on a mine site....

[Yakky Bear]

look into rig work too. few contracts coming online early next year.. might get lucky.

[SSICK]

try and get an apprenticeship working away. will make over 1k a week and in the end you'll come out better off. qualification and licence to print money.....if you can handle working away and living on a mine.

[JBAE]

khunts need to REEELAXXX!!!

[Yarms]

Also try barminco for your underground needs. Always want truckies. Though as SSick said try for apprenticeship. I'm doing one at the moment . Best move I made. Week on week off 2nd year diesel fitter 32 hour which is pretty good I reckon .

[rucker_]

TWIG - Could you please PM me with details on your workplace etc and who you went through for an apprenticeship as im chasing the exact same.

Thanks

[Evman]

Screw the mines, oil/gas is where it's at. Get your dogman + basic riggers and EWP tickets and get onto Gorgon or wait for Wheatstone. Or start up with the likes of ESS or somewhere similar and get onto boats, or rigs if you can.

[colt75]

lol was gonna say, 1k a week you can get in perth...

[farris]

Sanderson drilling is gonna need a shit load of offsiders soon, don't recommend them but it's a way in.

[Chompy]

theres a lovely little place called Murrin Murrin, try applying through here www.minara.com.au , you'll love it

[Wozzernux]

Ahh me H2S. Best mate works onsite desktop support there, not exactly down & dirty mine work but he earns a stupid amount of money... pingpingpingping won't get me a job up there either :(

[monk_13]

LOL! My old boy has been there for the last 10 or so years...

Could always try the glorious* mine site that is Woodie Woodie. Especially now CML are going owner operator....




*Glorious may be a slight exaggeration . I like to refer to it as Satan's Anus.

no smart arse intended mate, just simply don't understand your reasoning behind 52w/p.a x $1000 =75k- p.a
Sorry if I offended you.

Will definitely look at apprenticeship ideas too

he was talking net income not gross i.e; you want to take home 1k, so you need to earn 75k not 52...

[R3N]

maybe he wants 1k cash money a week

[S133LTR]

If you want to go to Gorgon/Wheatstone atm with no trade and just a handful of basic ticket you would need to be prepared to be working 4/1 or worse.. having said that the money would be redonkulous.

[HANS YOLO]

you want north of 1k per week?

get in government...bulk leave, cushy conditions and bitches (both male and female it would seem cos some of these niggas is bitches too)

:)

Salary of 75k before tax is close enough to $1000/week after tax.

Zactly.

As above. As someone else above said, oil and gas is the future. Get your certificates and keep hammering them.

[Buckets]

Why do people bother spending huge amounts of money getting certificates... For fucks sake get a absolute bum entry level position and work you way up. You can have all the tickets in the world but with out any experience it's worthless. By all means if you absolutely need "x" ticket / licence then go for it. If anything mate I'd suggest getting a HR licence, you can get it in 2 days from a few mobs and it opens a lot of door for you. I wouldn't worry about fuck all else.

[Passage GT]

buckets is right, at one stage i had two different working at heights and confined space tickets, because my new job didn't recognise the company that did the originals and wanted me to do it with the company they preferred.
hardest bit is getting your foot in the door (having someone inside is a huge help) after that they're happy to train people up and send them on whatever boring course your needed to do to be 'safe'.
adult apprenticeship is what i'd be looking at as well if i wasn't in my current position.

[RELEASE]

Oil and gas is going to go crazy...
Gorgon plus Wheatstone when that goes online.
INPEX has the Ichthys project that is close to FID stage...this ones going to be a big one ;)

Chevron and INPEX are going to be snapping up people like crazy. Not enough people for the positions

[Tocchi]

Gorgon and browse will be going nuts.

offshore, you shouldnt need to pay for certs, the company will do it for you, if they need people that badly

[DBLDOSE]

Bottom rate at argyle for macmahons is 75k a year for truckie/jumbo offsider. Rumor has it we are getting a pay rise this week aswell, fitters just got 10% the pingpingpingpings.

And something to remember is a fitter is making 150k, but you go hard, could be on a jumbo in 5 years, and top rate for a jumbo op here is 1k a day....

[mr_mike]

slightly off topic but what exactly is a "jumbo" as i hear it mentioned alot in these threads?

[crabman]

A drill that artists operate :P

http://img.directindustry.com/images_di/photo-g/two-boom-jumbo-drilling-rig-384181.jpg

[Yarms]

Tamrock/sandvik are the king of jumbo.

To the couple of people who want me to pm them with info I will try get round to it by friday. As it to much to type on my phone.

[Brett_J]

Get a trade, I will be finished mine in 3 months, did it in just over a year with prior experience, Will be a qualified heavy duty plant mechanic.
Even if your stuck in a average job in the city for a few years, it'll pay off in the end, more and more stuff is going remote operator, but they'll never replace a mechanic.
These days you can just about choose where you want to work and for how much and what roster.

Twig is that $32/hr a flat rate or Penalties.

[R3N]

Salary of 75k before tax is close enough to $1000/week after tax.


Zactly.


As above. As someone else above said, oil and gas is the future. Get your certificates and keep hammering them.

I meant him getting paid cash, no tax spec :p

[Passage GT]

Brett were you a qualified light vehicle mechanic before you moved up?
Chaotic on here is looking to do the same thing if so, i asked our workshops about it but they're not taking on any atm.
how did you go about it?

[Brett_J]

Nope, Just because I have been doing this sort of shit for years.
I'm suprised he can't find anyone willing to put him on for an trade upgrade, my brother had a small motor mechanic working as a fitter out at Sunrise.

[monk_13]

For those guys that are kinda desperate to get their foot in the door....

http://tbe.taleo.net/NA2/ats/careers/searchResults.jsp;jsessionid=079555B5547063A050982 1483CC2F5F8.NA2_primary_jvm?org=CONSMINERALS&cws=1

Try Consolidated Minerals. Use them to get a foot in the door, get a bit of experience and move on. I know their workshop is looking for around 20 or so people. And as they are going owner operator towards the end of next year, they will be chasing operators as well.

[Lasoya]

Can someone please pm me with information about mining or oil rig apprenticeships in mechanics, or entry level jobs on oil rigs/mine sites, cheers :)

[wooly]

alot of people use Linkforce as a way to get the foot in the doot. flat rate casual mine maintenence. 47$ per hour from memory.

the people saying dont get tickets, thats the opposite of my experience... but each to there own. make your CV look as packed as possible. and all tickets are tax deduictable...

[Bomber]

a way to get the foot in the doot.
Sounds good. Where do we sign? Haha


the people saying dont get tickets, thats the opposite of my experience...
Mine too but I'm in mining as a digger op. Oil & Gas would be and certainly is a different beast so.....

[wooly]

haha forgive my spelling.

Oil and gas especially the offshore side of the industry is all about who you know. not what you know or how qualified you are...

the construction on the other hand is about to take off. CBI are mobing alot of their blokes up to gorgon in january for the tanks. lleytons are a few months behind that and according to rumours floating around at the moment it will be cranking by march.

[joelt]

Keen to get up north and start earning some real money. Qualifed plumber with gas ticket aswell, finding it hard to find alot of work for my trade up there. Rarely see jobs on seek going for a plumber up north or on the gorgon. Can anyone steer me in the right direction?

[Lozzle]

Rather than start a new thread, my younger bro is thinking of hitting up mine sites. He has no mechanical experience as such or tickets (except for a forklift ticket, he's done that kinda stuff before). He is keen to do whatever tickets he may need.

What sort of noobie job position would he be able to step into? What should we be searching for in the advertisements, 'offsider'? positions?

[Turbo2.6L]

Drillers offsider. Usually required to have HR license & that's about it

[Lozzle]

Ok, thankyou :)

[Yarms]

Underground driller offsider needs no truck lic or tickets . Try swick drilling .

[farris]

[Tikki]

Fuck drilling/rig work. If you want a job that's stimulating i highly recommend AGAINST the drilling industry. Drilled for 2 years and it's a waste of time.

[Passage GT]

try out as a TA with monadelphous and similar contractors too lozzle, can be a good way to get your foot in the door, i know a couple ta's that got offered appreticeships after a while too.

[3BEPKA]

If you wanna make good coin and do fuck all, go on construction as TA (trade assistant). You will need few tickets to get in easier.
Confined Space, Working at Heights, Forklift, EWP are just a few that will give you good chance.

[jace88]

Im keen to hit the mines anyone know of a good company hiring sparkies
Don't really wana go through a Recruitment mob. Guess
I should start handing me resume out that's the only way to find out!

[TJ]

** English very no good you've got a lot of time on ur hands
Don't need good English when your here to correct ppl

[evil1]

hahahahaha i was 60 seconds too slow

[j3rk]

Theiss & Kentz are hiring last I heard. Kentz for Gorgon particularly which is on the ramp up, recruitment wise.

Else, downers is the next big easy bet with lots of work.

[Turbo2.6L]

Downers are very heavily recruiting for the expansion that starts in April. Couple of my mates have been hired in the past week or 2.

[adrenalin]

@ jase88, Positron have a big job coming up at solomon for FMG. Give them a try, having said that I dont know too many electrical companies that are not looking for staff. Laing o'rourke are also here They will be manning up shortly. There will be more coming up too, Cimeco and Global Electrotech are others that spring to mind. Have you done anything on site before?

[AGIT8D]
