Prominent Hill is home to a team that's more than 80% South Australian. You can build a strong mining career without leaving SA, with direct flights from Adelaide (1.5hrs) or Port Augusta (45 minutes).
You'll be extracting the copper that goes into electric vehicle batteries, solar panel wiring, and wind turbine components. Every day, you're contributing to Australia's clean energy future.

You'll be part of a collaborative team where people listen to your ideas for improvements. Safety isn't just a slogan here—it's how we look out for each other every day.
You'll work alongside experienced professionals who value curiosity, collaboration, and practical problem-solving.
Strong mentorship culture where experienced team members support new starters.
8 days on, 6 days off roster gives you a regular rhythm - focused work periods followed by extended time at home.

We've helped team members adjust their swing timing for graduations, cultural ceremonies, and important family events.
