Post Body

I have a fair amount of experience (6yrs) on most size excavators upto 30T and done a variety of work, Excavator mulching tree work house pads bulking out loading site cuts etc. No gps yet.

Most of my time has been running a combo 5T digger and 3.5T Skiddy also done lots of loader and backhoe work

Have all my current Rii codes for loader dozer excavator skid steer and tele handler

My question is how to get into a mining role, seems like there are lots of jobs but require minimum 2 yearโ€™s experience on Libehrs or Ex1200 or ex3600 or similar..

How do i get started? do you have to take another job and work your way up?

Comments

As another commenter suggested, try emailing some of the smaller contractors who do more civil work around sites and you'll probably get poached if you show off some mad digging skills.

Contractors tend to run some small and some larger equipment which would give you a transition to the sticks on a bigger girl.
