Mining Roles in Australia | FIFO | CV Writers

Australian mining recruiters do not want a long story. They scan for tickets, sites, equipment, commodities, roster history and facts. Then they move on.

We write mining CVs for Kiwis going FIFO to Australia or moving permanently — operators, trades, shutdown crews, supervisors and mining professionals. Straightforward. Fact based. Written to Australian recruiter expectations.

For a confidential chat, call Head CV Writer Paul Woollams on 022 047 0921 (9am–9pm, any day). Or use the enquiry form on this page. We reply 24/7.

How we help people moving from NZ into Australian mining

We have prepared CVs for New Zealanders heading to WA, Queensland and other Australian mining regions. We know what local Australian agencies and site HR look for first.
When we prepare your CV we keep it clean and factual:
Tickets and licences — listed clearly, current, easy to find
Sites and commodities — where you worked and what was mined
Mine type — open pit, underground, process plant, shutdown, construction
Equipment and plant — named machines, not vague “heavy equipment”
Dates and time on site — so they can see continuity
Roster / FIFO history — if you have it
Safety and compliance — tickets, inductions and incident-free records where true
No fluff. No padded wording. Australian mining CVs that read like a site file, not a brochure.

What Australian mining recruiters look for

Typical checks we write to:

Right tickets for the role (White Card, Standard 11, Working at Heights, Confined Space, First Aid, HR/HC, high-risk licences, VOCs, trade papers)
Named site experience and commodity (iron ore, coal, gold, copper, lithium, nickel and others)
Specific plant and equipment
Safety mindset and ability to pass medical, D&A and police checks
Reliability on roster — turn up, last the swing, work the shift
Shutdown, maintenance or production experience where relevant
For professional roles: projects, production results, statutory tickets, software and commodities

If you are new to FIFO, we still keep it factual: transferable site, civil, construction, workshop or shift experience, plus tickets you already hold.

Frequently Asked Question

Will this look like an Australian mining CV?

Yes. That is the brief. Short, factual, tickets visible, sites named, no waffle.

I have NZ mining or quarry experience, not Australian.

We present it so an AU recruiter can map it quickly: commodity, plant, tickets and time in role.

I have not done FIFO yet.

We keep it honest. Shift work, remote work, construction, civil or workshop history still counts if it is relevant.

Should I list every ticket?

Current, relevant tickets yes. Expired or unrelated ones we handle carefully so the CV stays clean.

Do you write cover letters for agencies?

Yes. Short and factual. Ask when you enquire.

How fast?

Usually 2–3 days. 48 hours is typical. Tell us if a role is closing.
