Certainly, there are mining companies that only advertise for operators with experience. Generally, these are your larger organisations that contract recruitment companies to do their seeking of candidate. If you look at recruitment company ads then more often than not they will be asking for experience as they have been given a brief from the mining company of the requirements that they cannot deviate from.. These are not the type of companies that will give an inexperienced person a shot at mining so these companies are not the ones you want to focus on. Equally looking at jobs advertised by recruitment companies is also not where you should be looking. Most opportunities for inexperienced people will be given by the middle tier contract mining companies, not your BHP or RIO companies. These companies tend to operate on multi tasking their personnel and you will find they are open to giving operators more variety and skill if they hold the qualifications or licences that allow them too. For this reason presenting yourself ready to go with the applicable tickets will open up opportunities that certainly the larger organisations won’t give you. If you wish to understand more about where to go and what opportunities may be on offer RMS suggest you purchase “The Getting a Start in Mining” download from the website which will ensure that you are fishing in the right pond to get a bite!
