Mining & Energy COURSE FAQS
Do I need experience to get into the mining and energy industry?
Not necessarily. While some roles require specific licences or tickets, there are genuine entry-level pathways into the mining and energy industries for people who are new to the sector. Complete the Certificate II in Resources and Infrastructure Work Preparation to kickstart a promising career in one of Australia’s highest-paying sectors.
What licences do I need to work on a mine site in Queensland?
The certifications you need depend on your role, but most mine site workers in Queensland will need a General Induction for Construction (White Card) and a site-specific induction as a minimum. Additional tickets, like a Standard 11 mining induction or specific high-risk machinery licences, may be required depending on the work you’ll be doing.
Is mining and energy a good long-term career in Australia?
Australia’s mining and energy sectors are big and enduring. There’s a strong global demand for resources and a massive ongoing investment in renewable energy infrastructure, which means these sectors offer consistent, stable employment. They’re also great for long-term job security, strong wages, and clear pathways for career advancement.
What is FIFO work and is it right for me?
FIFO means “fly-in, fly-out”. It’s a common work arrangement in the mining industry, where workers are flown to remote mine sites for a set roster period, then return home for their time off. Common rosters include two weeks on, one week off, or eight days on, six days off. It suits people who are comfortable being away from home for stretches of time in exchange for significantly higher wages and extended blocks of time off between shifts.
How much can I earn working in mining and energy in QLD?
The mining and energy sectors are among the highest-paying industries in the state. Entry-level mine site workers can typically expect to earn between $80,000 and $100,000 per year, while experienced operators and specialists working on remote or FIFO rosters can earn well in excess of $120,000-$150,000 per year.
