Opportunity & Why Apply
If you're a heavy diesel mechanic anywhere in QLD and you've wanting a serious career move - then this is it!
A world-class OEM workshop in central N.QLD is looking for tradespeople who are open to relocating and stepping into the mining industry in a long-term position. You'll work residential, building a specialist skillset making you seriously marketable for the rest of your mining career alongside an outdoor lifestyle most tradies chase on their days off.

* Residential role - home every night, no camps, no fly-in fly-out
* Specialise on a challenging variety of underground mining equipment
* Collaborative, experienced workshop team with a strong culture
* Competitive hourly rate with a clear pathway to permanent employment

Workshop Role
Reporting to the workshop supervisor, you'll be hands‐on with the full range of underground mining machinery, working alongside a tight, experienced crew. Your day‐to‐day will include:
* Major rebuilds and heavy maintenance projects
* Component change‐outs and machinery upgrades
* Commissioning, testing, and quality auditing
* Inspections and compliance checks
Company
Join a respected global OEM with a serious commitment to developing their people - structured training, consistent workflow, and a genuine team culture that accelerates careers rather than stalling them.

* Real temp‐to‐perm pathway
Location & Relocation
Mount Isa sits at the heart of Australia's underground hard rock mining industry - with outback lifestyle that delivers on weekends: camping, caving, dirt biking, hunting, and more. If you've been chasing big mining money while sacrificing time at home, this is the rare role where you don't have to choose.
Skills & Experience
You'll come from a heavy vehicle, civil or earthmoving background. Mining exposure is a bonus but not needed - what matters most is your attitude and your foundation as a tradesperson.
* Light vehicle or diesel trade qualification (essential)
* Previous mining experience - underground a definite advantage
* Strong work ethic with a genuine commitment to safety and quality
* Ready to relocate to Mount Isa and commit to the role
* Drive to develop into a true underground mining specialist
