Curragh has been operating since 1983 and Golding has been on site since 2014 providing both production & maintenance services to the current owner Coronado. This successful partnership has led to two contract extensions, the latest a 5 year extension till December 2026.

  • Work-life balance with a 7/7 roster (Thursday to Wednesday).
  • Early finish on the last day shift to allow safe travel home for local staff (or optional overtime).
  • 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:

  • Prior experience in Production Mining.
  • Proficiency in operating large-scale equipment, including:
    • Caterpillar 6060BH
  • Hitachi EX3600-5
  • Hitachi EX5600-6
  • Liebherr R996B
