Auto Electrician, Mackay

We want locals. Trade qualified auto electricians who live in Mackay or nearby: Sarina, Walkerston, Mirani or the northern beaches. Full time and shutdown work on Bowen Basin coal mines, working out of Mackay. Competitive pay. Rosters are 7 on 7 off or 5 on 2 off.

What the work is

• Starting, charging and lighting, air conditioning, fire suppression and monitoring systems.
• Machine upgrades and the wiring that comes with them.
• Breakdown response and shutdown work alongside the fitters.

What you need

• Your auto electrical trade certificate.
• A current Coal Board Medical. No Coal Board Medical? We’ll help you get one.
• Standard 11.
• An open driver licence.
• Working at heights (RIIWHS204) and EWP (RIIHAN301, or a WP licence). Most mines ask for both for auto electricians.
• Caterpillar, Hitachi or Komatsu heavy earthmoving experience is a plus.

Do not hold all of it yet? Apply anyway. That is exactly what we ring you about.

Our half of it

You have got the ambition. Our half is the opportunity: make you good at this, keep you working, and get you to wherever you said you wanted to end up.

• You get better on purpose. Tell us where you want to end up and we help you plan the way there, ticket by ticket, into a career you are proud of.
• You do the work, we do the paperwork. Standard 11, coal board medical, inductions, portals, renewals, timesheets and pay.
• You know the site, the roster and the travel before you commit. So you can say yes to it properly.
• always here for your growth. They know which site you are on and what you asked for last time.
• We want the site asking for you next swing. That is the aim, and everything we do around the work is pointed at it.

How to apply

Your details, your roster pick and four yes or no answers. It takes about a minute. A resume helps but you do not need one to apply. The coordinator who rosters the crews reads it, not a filter, and rings you either way.
