Mining Jobs in Australia

A miner's job is to operate specialist equipment to excavate, load and transport coal, rock and ore in open cut or underground mining operations. Both open cut and underground miners can specialise as jumbo and longhole drill operators, airleg miners, longwall miner operators, continuous mining machine operators, development machine miners or mechanical bogger operators.
Some miners do not actually dig out the coal, rock, or ore. Their job is to build tunnels that make digging possible or to protect other workers from hazards. Before miners begin digging underground the work area is checked to make sure it has a safe roof support, a good air supply and no dangerous gases. The rock dust machine operator will spray the walls and floors with limestone to lessen the chance of coal dust causing breathing problems or exploding. Stopping builders will then put up walls and other structures to allow air to flow directly into work areas.
