Driller | FIFO

UNDERGROUND DRILLER LOOKING TO MOVE INTO OPEN CUT?

Programmed Energy & Resources are currently seeking Drillers for a long-term FIFO opportunity with Western Australia's largest magnetite operations in the Pilbara.

This is an excellent opportunity for Underground, RC or Diamond Drillers wanting to transition into large-scale open cut production mining.

With one of the longest mine lives in Western Australia, this is not a short-term project or shutdown role - we are looking for operators wanting ongoing, stable FIFO work with genuine long-term opportunity.

What's on offer:

* $61.65 (Days) / $65.02 (Nights)

* 2:1 FIFO roster from Perth

* Balanced Roster: 1 Week Days / 1 Week Nights / 7 days off

* 12-hour shifts

* Weekly pay + super paid on all hours

* Camp, meals, PPE and flights provided

* Long-term ongoing role with genuine stability

* Gain hands on experience with SKF15, DI650i and Epiroc D65 drills

* Join a large-scale production Drill & Blast team

We welcome applicants with experience in:
* Underground drilling
* Blast hole drilling
* RC drilling
* Diamond drilling

Previous open cut production experience is advantageous but NOT essential.

About the role:
You'll be joining a high-performing Drill & Blast team on one of WA's largest mining operations. Successful candidates will operate production drills and assist with drill support duties as required.

What we're looking for:

* HR Driver's Licence
* Strong safety mindset and reliable work ethic
* Ability to work in remote FIFO conditions
* Must be clean shaven to successfully undergo a site-required mask fit test
* DGSC (or willingness to obtain immediately)
* National Police Clearance
* Full Australian working rights

If you're looking to get out of underground, secure long-term FIFO work and build your open cut mining experience, apply now.
