Hi Guys

My OH is an electrician and he is hoping to go into a more industrial field.
We are looking for mining industries in WA.

Geraldton is approx 450km north of Perth. It is a long way from the majority of mines. Most of the mining workers do so on a fly in fly out basis. They might work 2 weeks on 1 week off or other rota. It is also a very hard business to get into, it is all about who you know. Mining has also been hit quite hard by the financial crisis with mines closing and laying off workers. Not the best time to be thinking about looking into this industry. Sorry.

You need to look at SEEK.com, they always seem to be advertising for people to work in the area of mining. Just look at Geraldton area and they should come up.

Hi,
I live in Geraldton.
We have a lot of mine workers here who fly in and fly out. Wife and kids stays in town as its better than living further North.

Also getting new port and lots of work going on in town. We seam to be bucking the trend and Geraldton is booming. You may still get jobs in building industry as seen adverts regular for countrybuilders wa in our paper.

If you want mine jobs look at website mine4jobs.com.au. I think thats the right one. Also Geraldton has a couple of recruitment agencies in town so google them.
