Infamous Member 51 Member For: 18y 4m 28d Gender: Male Posted 04/08/07 12:31 PM Share Posted 04/08/07 12:31 PM Thought I'd start another what you do for a crust thread as I couldn't be bothered going through all 60 plus pages, except this one is dedicated to those of us that work either on a mine either residential or by FIFO. I'll start it off, I get the feeling there's a lot of us on here.Name: MarkOccupation: Fixed Plant SparkyCurrent Mine: Pilbara Iron YandicooginaPrevious Mines (Last 5 years): Marandoo & Tom PriceSee if we can keep that format, and then we can either PM each other if anyone works on the site or post it directly up here, whatever.

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 22y 2m 21d Gender: Male Posted 05/08/07 07:04 AM Share Posted 05/08/07 07:04 AM How about quoting some hourly rates you guys earn. My electrician mate says he is earning $75 an hour commissioning some plant for BHP out in whop whop in WA working 12 hour days two wks on one week off and also awaiting some 7% pay increase.Not bad money.
