Kickstart Your Mining Career with NQM Gold at Pajingo Mine

 

NQM Gold 2 Pty Ltd has been proudly exploring and producing gold right here in Northern Queensland since 2009. Our Pajingo Gold Mine, about 50km from Charters Towers and southwest of Townsville, is a well-established site with a solid track record—and we’re looking for skilled Diesel Fitters to join the team.

 

You’ll be part of a crew of around 250 people working across underground, open cut, and processing operations. The role is permanent, based on a family-friendly 7/7 roster, with meals, accommodation, and quarterly bonuses all included. Whether you're local or DIDO from Northern QLD, this is your chance to work with modern gear like Elphinstone LHDs, Sandvik drills, Atlas trucks, and Caterpillar equipment.

 

What we’re after:

  • Trade Qualified – Cert III Mobile Plant Tech or Engineering Mechanical

  • 2–3 years' hands-on experience

  • Manual driver’s license

  • A positive attitude, solid work ethic, and a strong focus on safety

  • Ability to work well both in a team and on your own

 

Charters Towers gives you the best of both worlds—laid-back regional living with Townsville and the Great Barrier Reef just up the road.
