TRS recruits across all mining operations: underground, open-pit, processing plants and smelters. We work with precious metals (copper, zinc, lead), industrial minerals, coal, and iron ore projects.
Our placements include mining engineers, geologists, metallurgists, process engineers, mine planners, surveyors, environmental specialists, plant operators, heavy equipment operators, and maintenance technicians. We also handle executive search for Mine Managers, Chief Geologists, and Project Directors.
Whether you need underground specialists with raise boring certification, open-pit engineers qualified in autonomous haulage systems, or mineral processing experts, our teams understand the technical and safety requirements for each position.
Mining presents distinct recruitment challenges: remote sites, fly-in-fly-out rosters, drive-in-drive-out schedules, harsh conditions, and tight labor markets.
We maintain relationships with professionals experienced in remote operations and build candidate pipelines in mining regions across the USA, Canada, Western Australia, Queensland, Nevada, Chile, Peru, and South Africa. We understand roster patterns (7/7, 14/14, 21/21), isolation allowances, and how lifestyle factors affect candidate decisions.
Our compliance process covers mining-specific requirements: fitness-for-work medicals, drug and alcohol screening, and site safety inductions. For shutdowns, project startups, or emergency cover, we can mobilize qualified personnel quickly when production schedules demand it.
TRS operates from offices in major mining centers including Perth, Vancouver, and Johannesburg. This gives us direct access to local talent pools and real-time knowledge of salary movements and competitor hiring activity.
We work with mining owners, operators, EPC contractors and consultancies. Our recruiters hold memberships in professional bodies including AusIMM (Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy) and SME (Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration).
Yes. Beyond filling individual positions, we offer workforce planning for project lifecycles. We provide labor market reports covering talent availability and salary benchmarks in your target regions.
