GMS is seeking an experienced Open Pit Training Advisor to play a key role in building capability across our surface mining teams. If you’re passionate about safe, efficient open pit operations and enjoy developing people to operate at their best, this is an opportunity to influence a growing site from the ground up.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Lead practical, high-value training onsite – VOCs, site-specific courses, machine competency development and inductions

You’ll thrive in a dynamic environment, enjoy collaborating with operational leaders, and be excited by the chance to influence training systems during a project start-up phase.

You will bring:

• A current C-Class manual driver’s licence
• Strong demonstrated experience as an Open Pit Training Advisor (or similar) within mining
• Cert IV in Training & Assessment
• Proven experience delivering training to varied group sizes in a high-performance mining environment
• Strong understanding of adult learning principles and how to apply them practically on the mine floor

• High competency across training and incident management software (e.g., INX InControl, InTuition, +LMS or equivalent)
• Excellent communication skills, including technical writing and report development
