Kanmantoo Employment

Welcome to the Employment Page for the Kanmantoo Copper Mine!

Approximately 160 personnel, 70 of whom are contractors, staff the mine.  The bulk of our recruitment for the Kanmantoo site took place in mid-2011 in preparation for the commencement of production operations in November 2011. We were extremely pleased with the huge response to our program (over 2,500 applications) and are thrilled to have been able to provide so many local residents with the opportunity to be involved in the start-up of Hillgrove’s flagship Mine. 

Moving forward, the Kanmantoo site will continue to present opportunities for applicants seeking to establish a balance between their work and personal commitments, and become part of an energetic and committed team.  With no Fly In / Fly Out and the ability to live in the city, beautiful Adelaide Hills or by the beach, Kanmantoo presents a unique opportunity rarely seen within the resources sector.

We strongly believe in forming direct relationships with our local community and for any roles posted we will welcome applications from enthusiastic top-performers, with the requisite skills and experience that are ready to go to the next level in their careers.  With a ‘Local-Hire’ policy applying to the Kanmantoo Copper Mine, you must be either a local resident or prepared to relocate (at your own expense) to the area to be considered for employment.

Please note: Agency referrals will not be accepted.

HILLGROVE ROLES

Hillgrove's key areas of employment centre on management of the mine, geology, operation and maintenance of the processing plant.  Whilst recruitment for our start up crews has now been finalised, other opportunities will become available from time to time for applicants with solid references, relevant qualifications and a background in the resources sector.

MINING OPERATIONS OPPORTUNITIES

Bulk earthworks, mining and ore movement operations are provided by Exact Mining Services.  Please consider vacancies available within the Exact team by visiting:  www.exactmining.com.au/careers.htm

In addition to Exact, the transport of our concentrate will be managed by an external contractor therefore Hillgrove does not recruit drivers.  Details of the appointed contractor will be advised when available.

Please note: Due to the overwhelming response to our 2011 recruitment drive we are currently accepting applications for specific roles via the website only – email applications and expressions of interest will not be accepted until we work through the back log.  Unfortunately, with our low staff turnover and limited roles this is unlikely to change for some time. 

Graduate/Vocational/Apprentice Programs

Graduate, Vocational and Apprenticeship placements will not be offered within the Hillgrove business until late-2012 when the initial phase of production has been completed.

At that time, a limited number of training & development opportunities will be offered to local students/graduates wishing to become a part of the Hillgrove team.  Individuals keen to be considered for these placements will be required to submit a written application outlining their recent educational results, a personal summary, provide details of their referees and why they would like to take part in a Hillgrove placement.  Limited placements will be made available to the successful applicants following the assessment of all applications.

As a precursor, graduate students from Adelaide universities are encouraged to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) regarding research projects they may wish to undertake in relation to the Mine.  Each EOI will be reviewed on a case by case basis to determine merit, relevance to the site and availability of Hillgrove staff to assist in the project.

Secondary school approved work experience submissions will be assessed on the merits of their application.  Whilst work experience placements may not be possible at all times due to operational limitations,  all efforts will be made to assist students wherever possible.

General work experience placements (i.e. non-school based placements) will not be provided on site.
