If you’re passionate about safe, efficient open pit operations and enjoy developing people to operate at their best, this is an opportunity to influence a growing site from the ground up.
What You’ll Be Doing:
• Lead practical, high-value training onsite – VOCs, site-specific courses, machine competency development and inductions
• Support all surface mining departments by delivering technical training and ensuring contractor and employee compliance
• Design, refine and implement training procedures that lift operational capability across all workgroups
• Ensure training systems align with WA Legislation, Australian Standards, Codes of Practice and National Training Package requirements
• Maintain, review and analyse workforce training records and TNA data to guide development planning
• Partner closely with operational leaders to identify skill gaps, growth pathways and upskilling opportunities
• Coordinate RTOs and specialist vendors for high-risk licences, first aid and compliance training
• Monitor and report on WHS and training data, identifying trends and improvement opportunities
• Support incident investigations and contribute to safety initiatives
• Actively participate in field inspections, audits and toolbox meetings to maintain strong operational awareness
About You:
We’re looking for a hands-on Training Advisor with real open pit experience—someone who knows what good looks like in the field and can coach others to it. You’ll thrive in a dynamic environment, enjoy collaborating with operational leaders, and be excited by the chance to influence training systems during a project start-up phase.
You will bring:
• A current C-Class manual driver’s licence
• Strong demonstrated experience as an Open Pit Training Advisor (or similar) within mining
• Cert IV in Training & Assessment
• Proven experience delivering training to varied group sizes in a high-performance mining environment
• Strong understanding of adult learning principles and how to apply them practically on the mine floor
• Well-developed knowledge of WHS legislation and safe operational practices
• High competency across training and incident management software (e.g., INX InControl, InTuition, +LMS or equivalent)
• Excellent communication skills, including technical writing and report development
