Maintenance Fitters & Associated Trades – Expression of Interest
Summary
Heritage Minerals is coming back to life, restoring the rattle and hum of 30 years past.
As we continue the restart of the historic Mount Morgan Gold Mine, we are seeking Expressions of Interest from experienced Maintenance Fitters and Associated Trades personnel to support the establishment and ongoing operation of our workshop and fixed plant maintenance teams.
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a growing operation from the ground up, helping ensure the reliability, safety and performance of mining equipment, infrastructure and processing assets.
