The Bowen Basin is Australia’s premier metallurgical coal region and a major source of mining work for Queensland and beyond. Producers including BHP Mitsubishi Alliance (Goonyella Riverside, Peak Downs, Saraji and Caval Ridge), Anglo American (Moranbah North, Grosvenor and Capcoal), Glencore, Peabody, Whitehaven and Coronado run open cut and underground operations across the central highlands, drawing crews on a drive-in and fly-in basis from Mackay, Rockhampton, Brisbane and the local towns of Moranbah, Dysart, Emerald and Blackwater.
Our team writes for the full range of Bowen Basin coal roles: haul truck, dozer, excavator and dragline operators, open cut examiners (OCE), production and overburden crews, coal handling and preparation plant (CHPP) operators, underground longwall and development crews, ERZ controllers and deputies, through to mining engineers and supervisors. We know the Queensland coal statutory framework matters to recruiters – coal board medical, Standard 11 and generic inductions, S123, G2 and ticket currency – so we make your compliance and competencies unmistakable.
Every Bowen Basin résumé is individually written and ATS-optimised for the systems used by coal producers, EPCM contractors and labour-hire firms, then matched with a focused cover letter, a sharpened LinkedIn profile and interview coaching where it helps.
Whether you are an experienced coal operator after a better roster or transitioning in from another sector, we frame your safety record, equipment hours and production results the way Queensland coal recruiters assess them. Every document is prepared under Monique Thompson’s direction, built on thirty years of recruitment experience and more than 10,000 client outcomes.
