Mining & Processing - Supervisory & Leading Hand Jobs

Many jobs in these critical front line leadership positions are filled by employers promoting people from within their own workplace, therefore, not all vacancies are advertised to the public. However, if the employer does opt to recruit a new employee (sometimes in the case that they do not have a suitable internal applicant), they will often require detailed checking and assessment to ensure this person fits their team, culture and desired supervisory style.

We also note that these jobs often fall between Operator level and Professional Technical level positions and as a result, they are sometimes assumed to be an easy level to advance to. At MPI, we take a different view.

It is about identifying the subtle aspects of the job, understanding the working environment, what statutory qualifications, certificates, licences or tickets are required and then spending time to ensure your new employer has the culture that fits you.
