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.

What You’ll Do

  • 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
  • Redzone Reward Program discounts and cashback at hundreds of retailers
  • Up to $200 reimbursement for prescription safety glasses
  • Free Employee Assistance Program (4 free sessions annually for you & your family)
  • Ongoing training, including OEM accredited trade courses
  • Service Milestone Bonuses:
    • $3k at 5 years
    • $10k at 10 years
    • $15k at 15 years
    • $20k at 20 years
