More about these jobs
Drill and blast crews drill the holes, load the explosives and fire the blast that breaks rock in open-cut mines and quarries. The list covers drillers, drill offsiders, shotfirers and blast crew. Shotfirer and explosives work is licensed, and an ad for it usually names the licence it needs, while drill offsider and trainee roles are often open to people with no drilling background. FIFOWorks shows a licence or ticket only when the ad names it. The roster and fly-out city appear on a card only when the ad states them.
This page is the Drill and blast filter on the jobs board, saved as an address you can share: every open FIFO and DIDO ad whose title fits the role, newest and highest-paying first. The roster, the fly-out city and the licences or tickets are shown on a card only when the ad states them. Where an ad names no fly-out city, the card says the nearest major city is assumed. Where enough ads state a rate, a pay summary above the jobs is worked out only from those stated rates, never from a guess. Pay on each card is the advertiser's own figure, and anything converted from a day rate or a salary is labelled as an estimate. Workers do not pay to search or to apply.
