- Installing and maintaining pumps
- Connecting pipework
- Supporting depressurisation systems to control groundwater
- Poly welding You’ll also assist with general mine services tasks, contributing to the smooth execution of mining projects. What makes this role unique is its niche technical focus – you’ll gain specialised experience in pit dewatering, a vital function that directly impacts operational success. While the work can be physically demanding, it offers variety, autonomy, and the opportunity to work both independently and in pairs depending on site activity. For the right candidate, there’s also scope to develop into operating machinery such as loaders and excavators, enhancing your versatility and value on site.
