Relocation support is available for interstate candidates interested in permanently relocating to Darwin. For the right candidate, short-term FIFO arrangements may be considered initially to support transition and relocation, however the long-term expectation is residential relocation within the first few months of employment.

Reporting to the Health Safety and Training Superintendent These are permanent positions working 7 days on, 7 days off roster consisting of 12-hour shifts and alternating between day shift and night shift.

About the Opportunity

These are hands-on operational roles focused on developing emergency response readiness across a growing mining and processing operation. The role will specialise in medical and emergency response and will also integrate into safety.

Working closely with site, you will help shape emergency response standards, training programs, rescue systems and operational readiness and safe work practices for the operation.
