I am not sure if you have worked in Olympic Dam. Olympic Dam is in Doxby Downs, South Australia. It is a regional area but does not belong to anyone besides the government. However, you are right. BHP has got the contract there and yes they do have the power to decide what to happen or not to happen there.
Don't often see Chinese people working in Roxby Downs. Perhaps some Chinese chefs, other than that, you will find many Phillopinoes there. They are not residents here. They are here only for work.
Besides applying jobs at BHP, strong men and women who wish to work in the mines, perhaps you could try different drilling companies. For example, Major Drilling, BoartLongyear etc. 作者: natalie2010 时间: 24-6-2011 17:17 回复 jasonadelaide 的帖子
By the way, don't forget Mt Isa in Queensland. They offer ready good pay up there. For a driller, you get at least $130K a year.作者: jasonadelaide 时间: 26-6-2011 08:54
楼上的说得没错 但是没有考虑过来这个论坛的人的技术能力是否能够申请你认为好的工作。 大部分人连general labour都不一定申请的上，driller就只能算浮云了，呵呵作者: 9527 时间: 26-6-2011 09:34
噢，頂頂吧，至少是个机会啊。作者: natalie2010 时间: 26-6-2011 11:56 回复 jasonadelaide 的帖子
Of course, to start with, everyone applies for the position of Assistant Driller, which maybe called labouring during probation. Most people work as Assistant Drillers for about one or two years then become a driller but some may get promoted within six months.
Depending on the company or the contractors, the pay of an Assistant Driller is generally between 70K and 80K, from $250 a day plus bouns.作者: jasonadelaide 时间: 26-6-2011 13:29

我还是打英文吧。I think most people in Olympic Dam don't have any uni degrees. Of course the experienced engineers do. If you have a degree, apply for jobs in the mining industry but in the mines.
I have heard that BHP don't offer new graduates very good pay. Perhaps, you could try other companies in Melbourne besides BHP.作者: natalie2010 时间: 27-6-2011 16:16 本帖最后由 natalie2010 于 2011-6-27 16:17 编辑
