About the role
As a Mine Services Operator at Cowal, you will play a critical role in maintaining safe and productive mining operations by managing the dewatering of the open pit. This includes:
* Installing and maintaining pumps
* Connecting pipework
* Supporting depressurisation systems to control groundwater
* Poly welding
You will also assist with general mine services tasks, contributing to the smooth execution of mining projects.
What makes this role unique is its niche technical focus—you will gain specialised experience in pit dewatering, a vital function that directly impacts operational success. While the work can be physically demanding, it offers variety, autonomy, and the opportunity to work both independently and in pairs depending on site activity. For the right candidate, there is scope to develop into operating machinery such as loaders and excavators, enhancing your versatility and value on site.
Experienced De-Watering Operators can look forward to a West Wyalong housing salary packaging offer.
About you
You are a hands-on, safety-focused individual with a strong work ethic and a willingness to learn. Ideally, you bring experience in open pit dewatering or a background in practical, outdoor work such as plumbing, farming, or labouring.
* Open pit dewatering experience or familiarity with open cut mining/quarry operation is desirable
* You hold a current Light Vehicle (LV) licence
* While tickets such as C2 Crane, Dogman, Poly Welding, or Chainsaw competency are desirable, they are not essential – we can support you to gain them
You thrive in a role that offers both independence and teamwork, and you are motivated by the chance to contribute meaningfully to site operations. Whether you are experienced or looking to step into mining with the right attitude, this role offers a pathway to grow your skills as part of a supportive, values-driven team.
