Why Wharton's Mining Services
Tired of the same old site grind? No real growth? No chance to work on new gear or make a name for yourself? We get it. That's exactly why we started Wharton's — to build a team of tradesmen who want to be here, respect each other, and have a bit of fun along the way.
We're not just a workplace. We're family. We value hard work, mateship, and creating a culture where you can grow—both professionally and personally.
We switch things up to keep the job interesting. This is more than just a paycheck; it's your chance to build your reputation and leadership skills.
And yes, we offer real flexibility because we treat our team like family, not numbers.
We have over the years built a loyal and dedicated client base on the foundations, knowledge and dedication of long standing team members.
We don't just work hard, we fish, hunt, camp and play hard together.
