Advancing careers. Advancing everyday life.

If you are interested in kickstarting your career in Health & Safety within the Mining Industry and are dedicated and driven, you have a can-do spirit, and you are willing to learn and take responsibility, we offer the chance to develop your career - and the rewards to match.

At Hail Creek, everything we do is about developing our people, optimising our asset and improving our future. We positively impact our people and communities. We strive to be industry leaders - the Mine of Choice. It's a culture that fosters pragmatic outcomes where things happen quickly. We promote those 'out of the box' ideas to continuously improve and no day is ever the same.

With a large and passionate workforce of over 1,000 people, there is a great opportunity for you to contribute and make an impact.

We are only a one and quarter hour drive from the beautiful Mackay hinterland and a two- and half-hour drive from Airlie Beach and the Whitsunday Islands and have a diverse group of people at our operation commuting from multiple locations in Queensland such as Rockhampton and Townsville, to name a few.

Our people think and act like entrepreneurs. We have built a culture that rewards dedicated people with a can-do spirit, who take responsibility, and who have the drive to be leaders in their field. If you are caring, responsive, intuitive, and driven, and can operate within a dynamic environment, this is your chance to become part of a culture that empowers people and drives progression.
