We’ve written mining résumés for trades assistants and TAs across Australia – supporting boilermakers, fitters, mechanical and electrical tradespeople on maintenance, shutdowns and construction in gold, iron ore, nickel, copper and lithium operations from the Pilbara and Goldfields to the Bowen Basin. A trades assistant keeps the job moving: slinging and dogging loads, handling tools and equipment, fabrication and assembly support, housekeeping, isolations and lock-out tag-out, and working safely alongside the trade. It is one of the most common ways onto a mine site – and a recognised pathway into an apprenticeship – so a single vacancy can draw hundreds of applicants, and a screener spends seconds deciding whether yours goes forward.
What a strong trades assistant résumé looks like. It leads with your Standard 11 generic induction and Construction White Card, plus tickets such as forklift, EWP, Work Safely at Heights, confined space, dogging or basic rigging and Provide First Aid. It backs them with real hands-on exposure – the trades you have assisted (boilermaking, mechanical fitting, electrical, rigging), shutdown and turnaround work, tool and equipment handling, gas testing, manual handling, pre-starts, isolations and lock-out tag-out, and a clean safety record – structured so an applicant tracking system and a hiring manager can find them in seconds. That is the kind of résumé we build for you.
Why have us write it. We have prepared mining applications thousands of times, we know what gets this kind of application past the screeners, and we stand behind the result. Tell us about the role you are targeting and we will build an application that stands up against the field.
Heading to a specific region? We also write for Pilbara, Bowen Basin and Hunter Valley mining roles.
