Where we work
South Africa and the broader African mining belt, through to the iron ore, coal and gold operations of Australia. We source where the skills are and place where the work is.
South Africa and the broader African mining belt. Proven specialists from regions where mining runs deep, placed into operations across the continent.
SA | Namibia | Zimbabwe | Zambia | DRC | Mozambique | Tanzania | Ghana
The iron ore, coal and gold operations of the Pilbara, Goldfields and beyond. This is where the work is, and where proven specialists take up permanent roles.

The demand side
56,000+
Additional mining workers Australia needs by 2033
Australia needs 56,000+ additional mining workers by 2033, over and above the vacancies already open. The mining-engineer fill rate sits at 42%, the sixth-lowest of any Australian occupation, and by 2023 the vacancy rate had passed its 2011-12 supercycle peak.

The supply side
470,000
People directly employed by South African mining
South Africa's mining industry employs around 470,000 people directly, yet the sector is contracting and its experienced specialists are already leaving. The corridor points that experience at the operations that need it.

Mobilisation
A placement is not done when the offer is signed. It is done when the person is on site, inducted and working. That happens one of two ways:
South Africa & the African belt
A South African specialist into a South African operation, or in-country anywhere on the belt. No visas, no relocation machinery. The same screening, the same verified paperwork, and someone who can be on site quickly. Local placements are as much our work as the corridor.
Africa → Australia corridor
On this corridor, the visa and the relocation are run by the Australian employers through their own sponsorship programmes. Our part is making that step easy to say yes to. We screen candidates for international mobility and relocation readiness, and we verify qualifications, certificates, medicals and references before the offer stage, so sponsorship starts with a clean, complete file.
Sectors
Underground and open-pit mining, drill and blast, mineral processing, fixed and mobile plant maintenance, the engineering disciplines that keep an operation running. And the specialist finance roles that keep it accountable. Screened against the role, the certification and the site.
The people who run the pit and the underground. Planning, production, geotech and processing.
The engineers who carry a capital project from design through construction to handover.
The roads, earthworks, water and structures that keep a site running and a region open.
Process, pipeline and offshore specialists for upstream, midstream and downstream operations.
Solar, wind, storage and grid specialists for the projects powering new operations.
The finance side of the operation, from the site office to the boardroom. Specialist roles that become niche.
