The Hunter Valley is the centre of New South Wales coal mining and one of the largest residential mining workforces in the country, feeding the world’s biggest coal export port at Newcastle. Producers including Glencore (Bulga, Mangoola, Mount Owen and Ravensworth), Yancoal (Hunter Valley Operations and Mount Thorley Warkworth), Whitehaven, Peabody, Bloomfield and Idemitsu run open cut and underground operations across the upper Hunter, drawing crews largely on a drive-in basis from Singleton, Muswellbrook, Maitland and Newcastle.
Our team writes for the full range of Hunter Valley coal roles: haul truck, dozer, excavator, grader and dragline operators, open cut examiners and deputies, production and overburden crews, coal handling and preparation plant (CHPP) operators, underground development and longwall crews, plus maintenance trades, mining engineers and supervisors. We understand what NSW coal recruiters screen for – coal board medical, Standard 11, generic induction, statutory tickets and demonstrated hours on specific equipment – and we make those credentials easy to verify at a glance.
Each Hunter Valley résumé is individually written and ATS-optimised for the applicant tracking systems used by coal producers, contractors and labour-hire agencies, and is paired with a targeted cover letter, an optimised LinkedIn profile and interview coaching when required.
From operators chasing a move to a better operation to trades and professionals entering the coal sector, we position your safety record, equipment experience and reliability the way Hunter recruiters actually assess applications. Every document is prepared under the direction of Monique Thompson, backed by more than thirty years of recruitment experience and a 98.5 per cent success rate.
