Byrnecut

Byrnecut Mining Pty Ltd was established in 1987 as a contract mining company. Since its inception, the company has developed a reputation for professionalism and reliability. It has grown into a group that employs thousands of people and operates a multimillion-dollar fleet of specialised underground mining equipment.

Providing opportunities for its employees to grow professionally is beneficial to both the company and its staff. Byrnecut is endorsed by the Australian Skills Quality Authority as an RTO to deliver nationally accredited training. Operator competencies result in the awarding of nationally recognised outcomes.

Byrnecut is an equal opportunity employer that offers a range of apprenticeships in the mining industry. It provides excellent training and learning opportunities to young and mature-age people, with many progressing to full-time roles.

Apprentices are rotated through various mine sites, gaining valuable skills and experience working alongside mining professionals. They will also be given off-the-job training via an RTO. This training, combined with the skills gained on site, provides Byrnecut’s apprentices with the knowledge needed to conduct servicing, repairs, overhaul and fault-finding in their specific trade.

On completion, a nationally recognised Certificate III qualification for their specific trade is received. Desired attributes for apprentices include:

• successful completion of year 11;
• strong communication skills and ability to work in a team;
• current C-class driver’s licence;
• completion or partial completion of a pre-apprenticeship (highly advantageous but not essential);
• mature-age applicants are strongly encouraged to apply.
