Thinking about making a career change into the mining industry but worried you might be past it? Here is some good news: there is no official age limit for getting a start on a mine site. The industry is looking for people who can do the job, and we have even seen individuals as old as 69 years old successfully secure their very first mining role. The main thing to keep in mind is that you need to be fit and able to handle the work. Because mining roles require getting in there, doing hard work, and pulling 12-hour days, you will need to pass a pre-employment medical and sometimes a fitness test, depending on the specific position. While it ultimately comes down to company discretion—since a shorter runway to retirement is something businesses consider—age itself is not a barrier if you have no major health concerns. If you are ready to put in the effort, the mining sector has plenty of opportunities to build a rewarding new career path. Ready to take the next step toward a new career path?

What happens after you apply for a role? Before you even hit that apply button, there are 3 things you need to get right: 1. Make sure you’re actually eligible for the role. Check the experience, qualifications and requirements before applying. 2. Make sure your resume is ATS-compliant. If your resume isn’t formatted correctly or doesn’t include the right keywords, it may not even make it in front of a recruiter. 3. Have the relevant licences and tickets. If the role requires specific licences, tickets or qualifications, make sure you have them before applying. Nail these three things and you’re putting yourself in the best possible position to get your application noticed and land an interview.

Applying for mining jobs without a clear strategy usually ends up in disappointment. A lot of job seekers make the mistake of just throwing random resumes at Seek and hoping for the best. Without a solid plan, you are left relying purely on luck to land a role. Another major trap is spending a fortune on mining tickets you do not actually need. Getting into the resources sector is a bit like baking a cake—if you follow the correct procedure step-by-step, you are going to be successful. The very first step is figuring out exactly what job you want and what roles you are actually qualified to get. For example, if you come from a hospitality background, transitioning into a utility job is often the easiest pathway. These entry-level positions are still highly rewarding, paying anywhere between $85,000 and $110,000. If you are ready to stop wasting money and want to map out a proper strategy for your mining career, we are here to help.

Thinking about getting into the mining industry but not sure where you fit in? Two common entry-level paths are becoming a driller offsider or a trade assistant, but they require very different skill sets and tickets A driller offsider role isn't for the faint-hearted. It is highly suited to those with a background in intense labour and on-site work. If you are used to hard physical work and hold a HR driver's licence, this could be an excellent match for your career. On the other hand, a trade assistant does exactly what the name suggests by assisting various trades on the mine site, including electricians, vehicle mechanics, plumbers, and boiler makers. Your day-to-day tasks might involve doing odd jobs around the yard, cleaning up tools and equipment, or driving trucks. For this pathway, you will need specific qualifications like gas testing atmospheres, confined spaces, and working at heights tickets.
