Perth, Western Australia LH Partners Full time $800,000 - $1,000,000 per year

About the Company

We are working with leading underground drilling contractors operating across major mining and exploration projects throughout Australia. These companies are recognised for their focus on safety, consistency, and technical capability. Each maintains a modern fleet of underground rigs and offers secure, long-term work on established mine sites.

At LH Partners, we specialise in connecting skilled drilling professionals with employers who value quality, reliability, and people. Our approach is built on honesty, integrity, and transparency, ensuring the right fit for both our candidates and our clients.

About the Role

We are seeking experienced Underground Diamond Drillers to join high-performing teams across multiple projects in Western Australia and beyond. You will be responsible for operating underground diamond drill rigs safely and efficiently, meeting production targets, and maintaining quality core recovery.

You will be part of a professional and safety-driven environment where teamwork, performance, and communication are key. For the right people, there are genuine opportunities for long-term stability and career progression.

Key Responsibilities


• Operate underground diamond rigs to achieve daily and monthly meter targets


• Conduct pre-start checks, maintenance, and basic servicing of drilling equipment


• Manage rod handling, core recovery, bit changes, and equipment adjustments


• Accurately complete daily drill logs and record geological and production data


• Monitor ground conditions and adjust drilling parameters where needed


• Work closely with supervisors, engineers, and geologists to deliver efficient results


• Provide leadership, guidance, and mentoring to Driller Assistants


• Maintain strict compliance with site and company safety standards

What's on Offer


• Up to $1000 per day plus meter and production bonuses


• Weekly pay with superannuation paid on all hours worked


• Long-term project stability with consistent rosters and reliable site support


• FIFO from major airports or DIDO options depending on project location


• 2/1 or 2/2 rosters with flights, meals, and accommodation provided


• Work with modern, well-maintained underground drilling rigs


• Career pathways into Leading Hand, Supervisor, or Training roles


• Supportive team environment with a strong safety and performance culture

Skills and Experience


• Previous experience operating underground diamond drill rigs in hard rock environments


• Sound mechanical knowledge and problem-solving skills


• Proven ability to achieve production targets safely and efficiently


• Current manual driver's licence and full Australian working rights


• Ability to pass a pre-employment medical and drug and alcohol screening


• Strong communication, teamwork, and safety awareness


• Desirable qualifications: First Aid, Working at Heights, Confined Space

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is an excellent opportunity for experienced underground drillers who want stable, well-paid work and a strong team culture. These roles are suited to professionals who value safety, pride themselves on quality results, and want to build a long-term career in underground drilling.

You will be joining a company that recognises hard work, pays fairly, and provides the conditions and support needed to succeed.
