About the role

Orica is currently inviting applications for Trainee Blast Crew Operators at our Deer Park Quarry sites.

If you're looking to start a career in mining, this is a great opportunity to join a supportive team where full training is provided. You'll begin as a bench assistant and gradually build your skills to operate a Mobile Manufacturing Unit (MMU), a specialised heavy-rigid vehicle fitted with advanced technology, used to safely deliver explosive products into pre-drilled blast holes.

This role offers a clear path for growth within a global company that values safety, learning, and long-term career development. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds who are ready to learn, contribute, and grow.

What you will be doing
  • Work shoulder to shoulder with a skilled team, helping deliver explosive products safely into pre-drilled blast holes across our quarries;
  • Provide hands-on support and physical labour as part of the blasting team;
  • Learn to operate a range of plant and equipment used in the blasting process;
  • When successfully trained, operate Orica's advanced blasting vehicle such as the Mobile Manufacturing Unit or MMU;
  • Uphold our core value: Safety is our Priority, Always.
What you will bring
  • A positive, team-focused attitude – looking out for your mates;
  • Willingness to work in challenging environments (hot, dusty);
  • Ability to pass a national police clearance;
  • A medium or heavy rigid license is an advantage, but not essential;
  • A willingness to learn and be trained in what is an exciting new career opportunity.
What we offer

As part of a truly global company, you will have the ability to grow and learn in a diverse, collaborative culture. We foster relationships and learning through connected global and local teams, promote flexible and diverse career paths and support the development of your knowledge and skills.

You will be paid a competitive salary, learn from talented individuals across multiple disciplines and be able to thrive in a safe workplace within a collaborative culture. Ignite your career at a place where your distinct potential can find its home.

We respect and value all

Orica promotes and fosters a culture of inclusion and Equal Opportunity Employment everywhere we operate. We treat our people and applicants with fairness, dignity, and respect, getting the best of everyone's contributions.
