Breaking into the mining industry takes a bit of strategy, especially if you are looking for entry-level jobs. First up, you absolutely need to be on your open driver's licence before you can even get onto a mine site. If you are currently based in Melbourne, finding an entry-level role that offers FIFO straight to site is very unlikely. You might need to be open to relocating to where the major recruitment action is, with Perth being the top spot, followed closely by Queensland. For anyone currently doing an apprenticeship, like a second-year chippy, the best move for your long-term career is to hang in there and finish it. Walking away means starting from scratch in entry-level mining jobs like a trade assistant or driller offsider. While those roles still pay really well, having a completed trade qualification under your belt means you will command a much higher pay rate on site.
