Ausdrill

A typical day at work will include off-siding such as setting up vehicles and equipments on drill pad, bagging samples, cleaning of drill rig and moving vehicles. 
Maintenance, learning how to operate a rod handler and communicating efficiently with clients will be what I'v learnt during my time with Ausdrill.
Managements communication can be an issue most time which did have an impact on our job.
I enjoyed working in teams   
The hardest part of our job will probably be the setting up and packing up. Driller's do not wait for anyone so it is your responsibility to quickly rush through. But in saying that getting to work with others with different background is always interesting.

It was a good company to work for, daily maintenance and breakdown repairs, start with shift hand-over and pre-shift meeting, had to fault find and do repairs in a timely manner, we had a good supervisor and management team that made sure we had the tools to complete tasks, it was a great work environment and team members, the hardest part of the job was parts and correct tools sometimes, I enjoyed my work with new challenges everyday and learning new ways of doing things better, faster and safely

As an assistant shotfirer my typical day consisted of a lot of 1 on 1 work with a shotfirer...
I learnt all aspects of being a shotfirer from priming holes to keeper of a magazine!
management were always helpful when help was needed.. I couldn't have worked with a better team of people!
The hardest part of my job would have to be the heat (living in NT) 
The most enjoyable part of my job would have been the shotfirer  allowing me to run blasts on my own and be in charge of the blast for the day...

I have enjoyed working for ausdrill and have learned a lot since i first started here. I have got along well with other/fellow workers/employees.

The hardest part of the job as with any mining position is being away from family and friends.

The most enjoyable part of the job would be the opportunity to learn n get in and have a go at things hands on in a safe environment with co workers willing to give constructive advice and criticism.

Get to work and do a pre start meeting in the morning, Then do a pre start on a ute and go to your job and start working. I learnt was to drive a Water truck, utes and learnt how to work a drill. The Management was ok but it took me a long time to get were I wanted to go. The co-workers were the best part of the job they were always there to talk to about stuff at work. The hardest part of the job was working so hard and not getting anywere

I was able to learn a lot about the running cost of blast hole drill rigs and management of the personal.
It was hard managing the men but rewarding when I got it right.
Ausdrill, Newlands Mine and my work colleges was a big help in all of this.
I loved working for Ausdrill and was disappointed when they could not win a contract and then made me redundant.

working at Ausdrill in the corporate office was fun , challenging where I learnt a lot and the MD was an entrepreneur so there were always interesting assignments .
Accounting team were a pleasure to lead and certainly made my life easier .
The board including the chairman of the audit committee were supportive and had many useful insights.
the organisation culture as a whole was that of an extended family

we work in mine day and night and we are working as a taem

the management are very nice to us even im from the other country
