About this role: FIFO Operators
Hey mate, are you an experienced production Operator living in SEQ and looking to get out of the Bowen Basin? Keep on reading!
NOTE: if you're looking for a foot-in-the-door role into the mines, this is not the one (unfortunately). Please don't apply if you don't have experience working on a large mine site, safely operating the big gear. We do not keep resumes on file from this ad post.
The plane is nearly full-up but we still have 10 boarding passes still available NOW, we're also putting people on stand-by if you're looking for a change later in the year.
We've got an exciting FIFO role with FREE shuttles picking you up from your front door if you live in Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Ipswich or surrounds!
You'll then jump on the FREE charter flights from Brisbane Airport, no booking fees and no more standing in security lines waiting hours for a flight.
**** Don't worry about parking or traffic, we've got it covered! ****
BONUS - no fatigue break at the end of shift, its straight from site to the airport to home!
