Why This Role Stands Out

This isn’t just another mining job — it’s an opportunity to join Redpath’s long established Cannington operation, working alongside a high performing team of 120+ professionals.

With 20+ years of ongoing partnership with South32, you’ll enjoy the kind of job stability and long term career potential that’s hard to find.

You’ll be working on a near new CAT fleet moving 3M+ tonnes annually, plus a crushing plant processing up to 10,000 tonnes per day — this is big scale mining at its best.

Work a family friendly 7/7 roster (12-hour shifts)
Perform scheduled maintenance & breakdown repairs on underground plant
Diagnose faults and carry out repairs or component replacements
Keep equipment compliant with site and safety standards
Maintain a clean, safe, and efficient workshop environment

What You’ll Bring

Trade qualified Heavy Diesel Fitter / Mechanic
Experience on underground mining equipment (Sandvik preferred)
Strong diagnostic & fault finding skills
Valid manual driver’s licence
First Aid certificate (or willingness to obtain)
A proactive attitude aligned with our motto:
“Consider it done — safely.”

What’s In It For You

Competitive hourly rates + super paid on all hours
7/7 lifestyle roster – more time at home
Real career progression opportunities
PPE provided
Super salary sacrifice & novated leasing options
Discounted BUPA health insurance
