Karara Mining

Karara Mining Environmental technician had a weekly schedule in place, but a typical morning would start off with  a pre-start to discuss safety issues from the day before, and identify with the jobs schedule for the day identifying any potential hazards-(such as e.g. remote travel)

Any forms such as journey management or JHA would be assess and completed by Supervisor.  Most days our travel  would be over 100klm runs to do monitoring of bores, dust monitoring, picking up stores---

Often most mornings there would be a call out, to do animal rescue, water sampling of RO plant, checking of feral traps would be first on the list.

All scheduled activities would require management plan, and discussion with Co-workers would be involved, so everyone knew where each tech would be doing field work, the work would be divided up between the Techs

Weekly - meetings, environmental presentations with contractor with the topic of the month (e.g.) Flora and fauna

All monitoring would require data entering at end of day, so that information would be current and entered on Incontrol-INX system

I worked four years with Karara mining-- every part of the technician work was the best ever job, just loved it enjoyed all the challenges presented to me often we would be called onto do extra hours, as in animal rescue, this was still worth to know an animal was made safe.
 
The hardest part of the job was having to finish my employment, in many other of my previous jobs as in construction, time comes to finalise the job you have been doing which you are conditioned to do,; Karara could have gone on forever, but wasn't to be

At the moment in time my day starts at 0600 with a pre-start meeting and maintenance feed back and breakdowns reported from previous night. The breakdowns are then assigned and l get on with it, upon finishing l get another breakdown and at the moment l work the whole day like this. l have learnt that it helps to do proper commissioning of plant equipment.My co-workers are very helpful and co-operative. The hardest part of the job is when no one listens when you say something mechanical which will prevent a breakdown and then the breakdown eventually happens! The other thing is running the plant without putting engineering aspect into consideration e.g. stopping to do essential checks or shutting down to do preventative maintenance. Learning new equipment is a big bonus.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Being a New Construction everyone was very focused, it was a fantastic atmosphere
 Consequently everyone worked really well, being a Country Site that injected good Fresh Air.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
This is the honest fact, I enjoyed working so much that it wasn’t stressful at all.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Everyday was very interesting and flowed so well.

Its has potential, but it’s run by people that haven’t unskilled in what seems like ever. 
Their schedules for maintenance are always over run, poor quality from the planning department that doesn’t take accountability or listen to recommendations or requirements for the scope. 

Loads is burnt out and over the egotistical attitude. It’s creating an unstable environment where safety is compromised. 

Purchasing and Accounts Payable are the main functions of this role. The facilites team is a good team to be part of, with very good mananagement roles

I find the travel to and from work to be a distraction as it is 200km per day, which takes the time away from the desk to tasks.

I have learnt that is is paramount to be part of a good team.

My time at Karara was one of the best overall working experiences I have ever had. Every day was a challenge for our team but by days end we always achieved what we set ourselves up to do. There was as strong belief within the general workforce that we were making a difference in the Midwest and improving the local economy.

Great guidance by experienced operators always willing to help when needed and give constructive criticism in order to help others grow to their full potential.
Staff were friendly and helpful, big emphasis on health and safety with a committed approach.

Found the management to caring in all aspects of personal and workplace. Allowed to be flexible to work environment. The after hours social calendar suited my hours worked. 

Great employers and co-workers
happy atmosphere, hard working bunch.
great facilities such as swimming pool, and gym 
hardest part was the heat 
most enjoyable was after a hard days work the co-worker meet for dinner and relaxation.

The Job is for shutdown.the management is awsone. Awsone supervisors and Awsome work crews with excellent team work.

Safety is the number one priority and everyone is looked after.
