From the country’s most complex infrastructure project Airport Link, to the Southern Hemisphere’s largest desalination plant, to taking a leadership position in the emerging LNG market, we have earned an enviable reputation for delivery.

We see every construction project, no matter how large or small, as an exciting opportunity to support our communities, contribute to our country and advance our industry.

How can I get a job in mining?

Thiess recruits people from a range of backgrounds and is always looking for suitable candidates to fill roles within the business. We class applications in three ways; Trainees, Cross-skilled and Experienced.

Experienced people have a minimum of 12 months experience in mining and usually possess a number of coal competencies.

Trainees are those people who do not have any formal experience in mining or related industries but want to get started in a mining career.

Cross-Skilled people are from a variety of industries which may include farming, construction, maintenance or other similar industries. These people have existing skills and knowledge but lack formal mining experience and require minimal training to get up to speed with mining operations.

Thiess recruits throughout the year and all of our current vacancies are listed on the careers section of our website. Trainee recruitment occurs periodically throughout the year, usually around twice per annum. For Trainee applicants, we generally look for a stable work history and prefer to employ people who reside in or close to the region in which we operate.

When is the next mining traineeship/recruitment intake?

These roles are dependent on the needs of the business and occur periodically throughout the year. Keep an eye on the careers section of our website for upcoming opportunities. Even better, register with a job alert and Thiess will email you with suitable opportunities when they are released.

Should I do a medical or coal board induction before I apply for a MINING job?

There is no requirement for applicants to have completed a pre-employment medical or coal board induction at the time of applying for vacancies. If you are progressed through the recruitment process, Thiess will require you to complete a specific pre-employment medical with a Thiess approved provider. We will also take care of your inductions once you commence employment with us at Thiess.

I’ve applied for a role but I haven’t heard back, what should I do?

Thiess make every effort to reply to all applicants and to keep in regular contact with all of our candidates. We would advise that you check your junk mail to make sure that our emails haven’t been incorrectly filed.

If you need further information you can always email us at miningjobs@thiess.com.au

I can’t upload my resume or supporting documents, what should I do?

If you are having difficulty uploading your resume or supporting documents, the best thing to do is to log out of the system and log back in. If you are still having difficulty, it is usually an issue with the security settings on your computer.

We would encourage you to try and upload your documents from an alternative computer. If you are still having issues uploading your documents, you can email miningjobs@thiess.com.au and we will contact you and provide some assistance.

Please remember to include your contact details if you do email us so that we can get in touch with you.
