Mining labour hire in Brisbane
Brisbane's mining and resources labour hire mostly starts at the airport, not the pit — the Bowen and Surat basins and the port at Gladstone sit hundreds of kilometres away, but workforce planning, rostering and flights for plant operators, trades assistants and shutdown crews begin here. We draw on a community used to travel rosters, which matters when a shutdown needs to scale fast.

Brisbane's mining workforce mostly starts at the airport, not the pit
Queensland's resources regions — the Bowen and Surat basins, the industrial port at Gladstone, the mining country further west — sit hundreds of kilometres from Brisbane, but the city is where much of the workforce planning, rostering and flights begin. Plant operators, trades assistants and shutdown crews are often based in Brisbane and travel out on rotation rather than living on-site.
We draw shutdown and site support crews from a worker community used to travel rosters, so a campaign that needs to scale up for a defined window isn't starting from zero on people willing to go where the work is. That matters most for shutdowns, where the gap between a normal crew and a full campaign crew can open up in a matter of weeks.
