Overview
Rewarding & Inclusive culture on a small site. Buru Rehab is a proudly Aboriginal-owned earthworks and mining services contractor, driven by a strong purpose to uplift and empower local Aboriginal people, businesses, and communities. Our rehabilitation projects go beyond restoring land — they're about working on Country, healing Country, and creating lasting opportunity. Everything we do is grounded in respect, connection, and making a genuine difference in the regions where we work, with a focus on long-term outcomes for local Indigenous people and businesses.
We're seeking several experienced and motivated Excavator Operators, as well as All Rounder Operators to join our Ellendale rehabilitation project, located approximately 130 km east of Derby, along the Gibb River Road in the stunning Kimberley region. Ellendale is a truly unique project, where Buru is working to rehabilitate and heal the land of a former diamond mine. Operating on a small site of approximately 30 people, every team member plays a critical role in delivering high-quality rehabilitation outcomes.
This is an 8-month seasonal role, running from late March / early April through to November. You'll be working a 15 days on, 6 days off roster either FIFO from Perth or DIDO from Broome, Derby, Fitzroy Crossing or surrounding areas. Ellendale offers a small, established camp with on-site gym facilities and excellent food — a supportive environment with a strong team culture.

* Highly proficient using GPS (Topcon preferred) and understanding electronic push points and plans
