Mine Security Guard

About this role

Mine Administration runs the site's supporting functions — stores, the explosive magazine, weighbridge, dispatch, time office, security, HR, community relations and statutory compliance.

Guard the gate, the stockyard and the magazine approach: vehicle checks, access control, patrols and the log.

Several of these are control points rather than clerical jobs. The weighbridge slip drives invoicing and royalty computation, the explosive register is a legal document that gets audited, and contractor labour compliance is where site operations most often get into serious trouble. Integrity in these roles matters more than experience.

• Patrol the site, including the stores, the fuel point and the magazine area
