Communications Technician – Mining

Central Queensland | DIDO / FIFO Options | Long-Term Contract

We’re looking for an experienced Communications Technician to join a large mining operation in Central Queensland.

The role will initially operate on a day-shift roster, supporting site communications, wireless networks and fleet management technology across a large mobile equipment fleet. There may be a requirement to move onto day/night coverage in the future, so flexibility is preferred.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for maintaining and supporting a range of operational technology across site, including:

• Radio communications systems
• Motorola / P25 systems
• Cisco wireless networks
• LTE communications
• Fleet management systems including Modular
• Wireless equipment across mobile mining fleet
• Terrain and associated mining technology
• Fault finding, inspections, repairs and preventative maintenance
• Supporting upgrades and installation work

You don’t need experience across every system. We’re looking for someone with a strong communications or wireless background who is willing to learn, take ownership and broaden their technical capability.

About You

Ideally, you’ll bring:

• Mining or heavy industrial communications experience
• Radio, wireless or telecommunications background
• Exposure to Motorola, P25, Cisco, LTE or similar systems
• Fleet management / Modular experience highly regarded
