HD Fitter - Burton Mine

About the Role

Techforce is partnering with a major provider to build the maintenance crew for a significant steelmaking coal operation in the Bowen Basin, around two hours from Mackay. The site is restarting under a solid new owner with an established Queensland coal portfolio. That means a maintenance team being built from the ground up, not inherited, and a long project runway in front of it.
