Kickstart or Grow Your Mining Career with NQM Gold – Pajingo Mine

 

NQM Gold 2 Pty Ltd has proudly been exploring and producing gold in Northern Queensland since 2009. Our Pajingo Gold Mine, located just 50km from Charters Towers and southwest of Townsville, is a well-established operation with a strong history—and we’re looking for Diesel Fitters to join the team.

Whether you're looking to build on your existing skills or bring solid experience to a new environment, this is your opportunity to join a close-knit crew of around 250 people working across underground, and processing.

This is a permanent role on a 7/7 family-friendly roster, with meals, camp accommodation, and quarterly bonuses included. You’ll be working with modern equipment like Elphinstone LHDs, Sandvik drills, Atlas Copco trucks, and Caterpillar gear—all while being part of a supportive and safety-focused team.

 

What We’re Looking For:

  • Trade qualified (Cert III in Mobile Plant Technology or Engineering – Mechanical)

  • Around 2–3+ years of hands-on underground experience (we welcome those with more!)

  • Manual driver’s licence

  • A team player with a strong work ethic and commitment to safety

  • Self-motivated with the ability to work independently when needed

 

Whether you're local or looking for a DIDO role from Northern QLD, Pajingo is a great place to work and grow. With laid-back regional living in Charters Towers and Townsville and the Great Barrier Reef just up the road, it’s the lifestyle and career combo you’ve been looking for.
