  • DIDO role with meals and accommodation provided — just a short bus ride to site.
  • Training and development pathways with opportunities for internal career progression.
  • A workplace culture built on safety, teamwork, and support.
  • Local housing allowance and novated leasing options available.

To Be Successful, You'll Need:
