Job description

Be part of our growth as new mining operations come online.

Genesis Mining Services (GMS), a division of Genesis Minerals, is continuing to expand its surface mining operations across the Goldfields. With new mining operations coming online and further growth ahead, we're building our training capability to support our expanding workforce and deliver safe, productive and efficient mining operations.

We're looking for an experienced Open Pit Training Advisor who knows open pit mining from the ground up. This is a hands-on, site-based role for someone who enjoys being out in the field, working alongside operators and supervisors, delivering practical training and developing the skills and confidence of our people.

If you have a strong background in training mobile equipment operators and understand what it takes to build a capable, safety-focused open pit workforce, this is an opportunity to make a real impact as our operations grow.

What You'll Be Doing

This is very much a boots-on-the-ground training role, with a strong focus on practical competency development across our surface mining operations.

• Deliver hands-on training and assessments across the operation, including VOCs, machine competencies, site-specific training and inductions.
• Work alongside operators and frontline leaders to develop mobile equipment skills, improve operating standards and build workforce capability.
• Provide practical technical training across surface mining workgroups, ensuring employees and contractors meet site competency and compliance requirements.
• Develop and continuously improve training procedures, materials and systems to support operational growth and consistency across sites.
• Partner with operational leaders to identify skills gaps, training needs and opportunities for workforce development and progression.
• Maintain accurate training records, analyse Training Needs Analysis (TNA) data and monitor competency requirements across the workforce.
• Coordinate external RTOs and specialist providers for high-risk licences, first aid and other compliance training.
• Monitor and report on training and WHS performance, identifying trends and opportunities for improvement.
• Participate in field inspections, audits, toolbox meetings and incident investigations, maintaining a strong connection with day-to-day site activities.

About You

You'll be an experienced mining training professional who is equally comfortable in the cab, on the pit floor or working with operational leaders to develop training plans.

You understand open pit mining equipment, know how to assess operator competency in a practical environment and can build credibility with the workforce through your operational knowledge and hands-on approach.

You’ll Also Bring

• Demonstrated experience in an Open Pit Training Advisor or similar role within the mining industry.
• Strong practical experience delivering training and conducting VOCs on mining mobile equipment.
• A genuine understanding of open pit mining operations, equipment and operating practices.
• Certificate IV in Training and Assessment.
• A current C-Class manual driver's licence.
• Experience delivering training to diverse workgroups in a fast-paced mining environment.
• A sound understanding of adult learning principles and how to apply them in a practical operational setting.
• Strong knowledge of WHS legislation, mining safety requirements and operational compliance.
• Experience with training and incident management systems such as INX InControl, InTuition, +LMS or equivalent.
• Strong communication, organisational and report-writing skills.

Why Join GMS?

This is an exciting time to join Genesis Mining Services. Our surface mining operations are growing, with new mines coming online and opportunities to help shape the capability, standards and development of an expanding workforce.

You’ll Have The Opportunity To

• Play a key role in building training capability as new operations come online.
