Plant & Machinery Operations

The skills required for Plant and Machinery Operations occupations in the minerals and energy industry are usually gained by experience in other related positions or through training programs conducted by individual companies, training providers or courses at TAFEWA.

The mines Safety and Inspections Regulations of 1995, which govern the mining industry in Western Australia, require an individual to be 18 years of age to be employed in an underground mine. Also a number of occupations require a current license: for example, a truck driver must hold the appropriate license.

The operation of individual plant and machinery items requires appropriate certification, provided as on-the-job training. This equips operators with a range of skills and opportunities to develop a career pathway into positions reflecting skill, experience, leadership and responsibility.
