Diesel Fitter - Cannington

Redpath Mining Contractors and Engineers
Cloncurry, QLD, Australia Full Time
Reference: 218_631382_8560

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.

In 1962, Jim Redpath's vision for the company was much the same as it is today; offering a high level of service to the mining industry, which exceeds current standards and provides challenge for its employees. With a foundation built on global experience, adaptability and exceptional workmanship, Redpath leads the industry with cutting edge innovations in safety and mining practices. Services including underground construction, shaft sinking, raiseboring, mine contracting, raise mining, mine development, engineering and technical services and a variety of specialty services are offered around the world, with the expertise and qualifications in place to support any scope of work. Global experience has given Redpath expansive regulatory knowledge, regional expertise, and cultural sensitivity. Redpath has built a solid reputation for conquering tough challenges and adapting to a variety of environments. Redpath's employees are the heart of the company's success, and it remains through them that the company will continue to expand and flourish.

Redpath is committed to an environment that is barrier-free. If you require accommodation during the hiring process, please inform us in advance so that we can arrange reasonable and appropriate accommodation.
