Working at Telfer. Roster, camp & Reviews

Located in the North East of Western Australia, Telfer is an operating base metals mine that sits well within the remote reaches of the state. For FIFO workers weighing up a move here, the first thing to factor in is distance. This is genuinely isolated country, and roles at sites like this almost always run on a fly in fly out basis with work camps forming the hub of daily life away from the job. The mine produces base metals, a category that typically covers metals such as copper, zinc, lead and nickel. Work of this kind can involve either open pit or underground operations depending on the deposit, along with associated processing and haulage activity, so the range of trades and roles on a base metals site is often broad. The specific operator running Telfer is worth confirming directly through any job listing or recruiter before you apply. A few practical details are best checked before committing, including the current roster arrangement, the standard of camp accommodation and the nearest town for time off. Given the remoteness of this part of WA, expect the lifestyle to be shaped heavily by the swing structure and the facilities on site rather than by proximity to a major regional centre.
