About Kanmantoo Copper Mine
Hillgrove Resources is one of Australia’s best kept mining secrets. Hidden amongst the quaint country towns of the vibrant Adelaide Hills yet is only a short 40-minute drive to Adelaide and a 20-minute drive to one of SA’s fastest growing areas, Mount Barker. Previously operating an open-cut mine, Hillgrove has established itself as a valuable member of the community through award winning consultation, progressive site revegetation and providing opportunities for local employment. Hillgrove Resources have now embarked on an exciting new chapter – we’ve gone underground!

The Role in a Nutshell
As a seasoned underground Tele-Remote Operator you will already have a comprehensive understanding of the requirements and responsibilities of this role.

But What Are The Fundamentals
You’ll ensure truck loads are maximised and underground housekeeping is kept at a premium. With experience correctly identifying and managing ore and waste, you’ll work with the whole team to ensure targets are safely met. Put your skills in place and be part of our production from the start.
To really stand out you will have relevant demonstrated prior experience in operating underground loaders remotely – bonus points if that experience is with CAT 2900. You’ll have exposure in open stoping operation and cemented rock fill placement. With RCT Digital you will enhance automation and remote operation capabilities, and be able to troubleshoot and resolve common issues. Your ability to implement best practices and continuous improvement initiatives will optimise loader operations in this open stoping environment.
So What’s Really Required?
An enthusiastic and diligent outlook will see you excel within our small but dedicated crews. Operating the loader from a distance requires high attention to detail and impeccable communication skills. Along with a solid track record of safety compliance and execution.
