    Cue WA 6640Less than 1 year in the role, former employee
    Need to look after the gear well and push for the safety not the 4.5 loads per shift.
    The good thingsVery good supervisors in all three crews and the project manager. can communicate very easily with them.
    The challengesThey need to be improved communication , safety, mutual respect, cheap behavior by senior operators. Some of the management decisions make more down time and not productive at all When it comes to the pre-start meeting, they talk like its the best place to work, but in reality, it is not.

    Land a good site & it’s a good job—end up at the wrong one, then run for hills.
    The good thingsAt this particular site, a key strength is the people—most colleagues and staff are supportive, approachable, and genuinely great to work with. It also offers strong opportunities to develop a broader skill set, with employees able to become multi-skilled and gain experience across different areas specific to this site.
    The challengesUnfortunately, not all sites within the company are equal. My initial placement (at a site I won’t name) was extremely stressful, with clear issues around workplace behaviour and a lack of support. There were no comfortable or trusted avenues to raise concerns, which made the situation worse. Management at that site operated very much as a purple circle, and if you didn’t fit their mould, you were singled out and pushed to breaking point. Had my transfer not gone through, I would have resigned within three months. The culture felt immature and unprofessional. There was a clear contradiction between what was said and what was expected—staff were told to follow fatigue laws and take breaks, but were simultaneously pushed to increase loads in a way that made legal compliance unrealistic. The focus was firmly on tonnes over people and compliance. On top of this, the equipment was in poor condition—ageing machines with very high hours, frequent breakdowns, and ongoing parts shortages.

    A role with valuable exposure, but cultural challenges exist
    The good thingsMy time at MLG Oz provided solid exposure to mining operations and the opportunity to work with some genuinely supportive coworkers.
    The challengesI found aspects of the leadership culture challenging at times. Several processes, particularly around safety, were not always implemented as consistently as the written procedures suggest, which aligns with feedback noted by other employees about gaps between documented safety protocols and day‑to‑day practice. Communication from management could also be inconsistent, and raising procedural concerns occasionally led to misunderstandings rather than collaborative problem‑solving. Some reviewers have described similar experiences regarding management style and workplace dynamics. While there are certainly positive individuals within the team, the overall environment may not suit everyone, particularly those in roles that rely heavily on clear communication and consistent support. I hope the company continues to invest in cultural development and leadership capability, as there is strong potential for improvement.
