Jumbo Operator

MPI partners with many of the major underground operations across WA, so instead of applying everywhere and guessing, you can come straight to us. We’ll give you an honest snapshot of what’s available — including rates, rosters, site conditions, and development opportunities — so you can make an informed move.

All roles are temp to perm (3–6 months), giving you the benefit of a strong casual rate initially, followed by the security of a long-term role once you’re established.

Coming from interstate? If you’re based over east and happy to cover your own flights to site, we’re open to considering you across a range of these opportunities.

What’s on Offer:

• Multiple sites across WA on roster: 8/6, 7/7, 2/1, 2/2
• $1500 – $2,000 per day (depending on experience), with competitive full-time rates
• Super paid on all hours worked
• FIFO roles across leading underground operations
• Immediate starts with smooth, fast mobilisation
• Ongoing opportunities if timing isn’t right straight away.

What You’ll Need

• Minimum 12 months underground Jumbo operating experience – bolt, mesh and bore
• Experience on twin boom / modern development drills (e.g. Sandvik, Epiroc)
• Ability to pass a pre-employment medical and police check
• Valid Australian working rights.

🚀 The Bottom Line
If you’re a Jumbo Operator looking for better pay, better rosters, and solid long-term opportunities, it’s worth having a conversation.
