Working with us is like hanging out with your mates. We’re a tight-knit bunch where you'll rock up for your swing, clued in on what's happening, knowing you're valued, informed and supported every step of the way.
“When I started at Curragh mine, my car was in the shop so I didn't have a car to get out to site for my first swing. Jess drove me out there and dropped me off and came back to pick me up at the end of my swing.”
- Rob, MC Load & Haul Operator

WHAT YOU'LL GET
We're the real deal
We go above and beyond to support you. Whether it's a chat about the footy or a lift to site. Get in touch, you’ll always hear from us (even if it’s to let you know we’re onto it!).
Backed every step
We'll look after you, no matter what. We're by your side, meeting you at site with your PPE or there to have a yarn when you’re settled in.
No hidden agenda
We keep it real - we’re upfront transparent with our communication and will walk you through everything - your contract, getting started on-site and payroll.
The best of both worlds
We'll bring you our expertise, we know our stuff - plus we treat you more like a mate than an employee.
No problem is too big
Every challenge has a solution, that’s how we roll. From recruitment to onboarding and mobilisation to payroll and your time on site.

We’ll check out your application and be in touch. If you tick all of the boxes, we’ll do a formal interview and chat about any other roles that might be suitable. This will likely be via phone as most people looking for mining work aren’t local to our offices, we know the drill.
We’ll call to let you know you’ve been successful, chat through the next steps and what you can expect with mobilisation and getting to site. We’ll take you through your contract so you’re comfy with it all too.
If you’re new to the mines, this process can take 6 – 8 weeks whereas if you have all your documentation, it can be much quicker. This is where you’ll supply docs (Standard 11, Coal Board Medical, tickets, licenses etc.) as well as do your AWX online registration and induction (if not already done prior to being approved for the role).
We’ll then get your confirmed start date and we'll be in touch with all the details so you know where to be and when – camp, on-site, transport, meals, the lot! I'll meet you at site with your PPE. We’ll have a chat about where things are, which bus to get on and any other questions you might have.
We’ll be there when your bus arrives on your first shift - then we'll head to pre-start where you’ll find out about where you'll be working that day, any hazards and incidents recently identified as well as any other key information such as weather etc. Typically, after pre-start, we’ll intro you to your supervisor and trainer who will support you and help you to navigate your first few days on site.
Share your details with us and our team will review and be in touch.
The qualifications for mining roles with AWX vary depending on the role. Typically, to work in you'll underground or coal mining you’ll need experience working within that type of mine site. Other relevant trade qualifications or tickets and the ability to pass drug and alcohol, pre-employment medical and police clearances are common requirements. To work in the coal mining space, you’ll also require your Coal Board Medical and Standard 11.
Rosters can differ based on the role and location. Common rosters include 7/7 day/night rotating shifts or a 2/1 roster for FIFO (Fly-In Fly-Out) candidates.
The pay rate varies again depending on the type of role. At AWX, all roles offer a competitive flat rate per hour.
Working with the AWX crew is like hanging out with your mates. You’ll feel valued, informed and supported every step of the way. Other benefits include FIFO options from major cities for some roles, salary sacrifice for accommodation, flights, and vehicles and provided meals and camp accommodation for certain roles. AWX is backed by PeopleIN, the largest ASX-listed talent solutions company in Australia and New Zealand, ensuring you're in good hands.
