About the multiple roles available:

Start a brand new, exciting career as a Trainee Blast Truck Operator with Orica, where safety, teamwork, and respect for the land and communities we work within are at the heart of everything we do.

We have multiple vacancies for Trainee Blast Truck Operators across open-cut and underground mine sites in Western Australia.

Rosters are generally 8 days on, 6 days off.

What you will be doing:

When successfully trained, operate Orica's advanced blasting vehicles such as Mobile Manufacturing Units (MMU) or Mobile Charging Units (MCU).

Work shoulder to shoulder with a skilled blasting team, helping deliver explosive products safely into pre-drilled blast holes on open-cut or underground mine sites.

At times, provide hands-on support and physical labour as part of the blasting team.

Learn to operate Orica's other plant and equipment used in the blasting process.

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, underground).

Ability to pass a national police clearance.

A medium or heavy rigid licence is preferred but not essential. If successful, you’ll need to be willing to obtain one.

A willingness to learn and be trained in what is an exciting new career opportunity.

Why join Orica?

At Orica, we believe in growing together. You’ll learn from experienced mentors, work in a team that values respect for people and the land, and build a career in a safe, supportive environment.

We offer great pay, hands-on training, and opportunities to thrive in a culture that celebrates diversity and collaboration.
