Hire vetted mining trades assistants in Perth in minutes.
Perth is the staging post for the state’s mining workforce: site services, maintenance support and exploration crews are hired here even when the work is a flight away. MyGig covers casual mine-support roles in WA, one of only two states in our network where we do, with inductions and tickets verified before a shift.
Maintenance windows are priced by the hour of downtime: casual TAs keep your fitters on the tools instead of fetching them. Typical requirements: site induction; working at heights or confined space per site.
Post the shift in about 60 seconds and watch vetted mining trades assistants apply. MyGig is the Employer of Record: employment contracts, award-interpreted payroll with the clause cited, 12% superannuation, and workers compensation all sit with us. You get one invoice and one flat 15% service fee on wages and on-costs, with the full cost estimated before you book.
