Reality of Dump Truck Jobs in Australia
Is Dump Truck driving in the Australian Mining Industry good or bad? Well, the hours are long, the work is repetitive, the pay can be poor (for the amount of hours worked), long period away from home/family but everyone wants to do it?
If you are focused on a obtaining a driving job, I would recommend driving Road Trains instead. The work is more varied, cover more distances and the scenery is always different. Had your HR for one year or more? Why not get your MC and get into driving road trains. Compared to driving up and down a hole all day?
Pros and Cons of dump truck jobs in the Australian mining industry.
Cons
- Experience: If you have no current experience, it can be very hard to get a start in the industry.
-Can be hard to get a traineeship position. People that get the traineeships are normally close friends or family of employees already driving. Or people that are yard hands, for the company and already have an established relationship with the supervisor in charge of hiring.
-Boring work, dump trucks are big but are easy to drive and soon the novelty wears off and you are just diving up and down a big hole all day.
-Long hours 12 hour days normally doing 2 weeks on 1 week off.
Pros
-No fitness level needed.
-Out of the harsh sun and weather conditions that the outback of Australia provides.
-Once you get experience under your belt, there are some good paying opportunities to be had. Earning over $100,000 a year and only working 2 thirds of the year.
Conclusion: There is a lot of hype about getting into dump truck driving. I think its due to the size of these machines that makes it an easy choice of subject for the media to talk about in their current affair program. They look fun to drive and you always hear people making over 100k a year. Which is making a lot of people interested in driving these big trucks. There is also a general opinion that driving dump trucks is cool which makes it more attractive to a lot of people. The reality is, its a boring job. You drive up and down a hole all day and companies main concern is stopping drivers from falling asleep at the wheel due to "boredom".
At the end of the day, if you are wanting to drive dump trucks or drive road trains. If you don't have experience, I recommend start looking for a job at a lower level. Once you are in the industry, you can then look into dump truck driving. Maybe you change your mind and glad your not driving them. Get in the industry, the average pay in the mines is above average and you often get free food and accomodation. Its easy to save while you're working in the middle of no where.

Western Australia Mining Jobs
Western Australia Mining Jobs are increasing as time goes by in 2009 and heading towards 2010.
The price of gold is at record prices and every gold mine in Australia and related sub contracting companies are keeping busy and hiring again.
Iron Ore and Nickel prices are coming back up again aswell and once these get back up, employment will greatly increase when everyone is in a mad rush for more workers.
Get ready for 2010 and the rush! Get prepared now or you will miss the boat!
Think its funny when people think they can simply just leave there job at the local supermarket and jump onto a hiring paying job driving dump trucks in the mines.
Careful planning and preparation has to be done and you need to contact a good friend in the industry who you can rely on, to fill you in with what you need to do.
Entry Level Mining Jobs are increasing as time goes by as well. There is always going to be a high demand for people new to the industry. Due to the tough conditions there is a high turnover of staff. People head to the mines and have a goal. They save there money and move back to the city to start to have a life :)
Mining Jobs in Queensland continue to rise as well with the majority of activity happening in Mount Isa. Plenty of mining jobs for women too, mining companies realise that its important to have them on board and they are also good workers!
Mine Jobs Australia and Underground Mining Jobs are a great way to save money in the mining industry. As food and accommodation is paid for and you can save nearly everything you earn!!!

Entry Level Mining Jobs come in a variety of different jobs, there is actually an entry level job to suit everyone. From drillers offsider, pit technican, and a variety of assistant roles throughout the industry theres a role in the mines that is going to suit your past work experience.
I totally recommend the mining industry to everyone. Its great fun working in the Australian Outback, red dirt and biggest of everything, e.g trucks , bulldozers etc. Thriving industry which is fun to be part off. Also the thing I like about the industry is your employers look after you better, time is money for them in a big way in this industry. Normally there is no silly long interview process, if your good for the job you start tomorrow sort of thing. They feed you well, look after your finanicially.
