He's on $65hr 7/7 roster, I suppose it just depends which contractor you work for, I almost went down there myself but Southern Cross Electrical who I applied for at the time where only offering around $40 something at the time and 10hr days 4/1 roster.

Those are the guys to apply for if you break into Iron ore. They are on all the Pilbara Iron minesites, I'm sure a lot of their guys get poached by Pilbara Iron. If all else fails there's always Marandoo, but I'd use that as a last resort.

I would have thought maybe 40-50 an hour in whop whop is a good rate Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/37195-fifo-or-residential-mine-who-works-where/page/2/#findComment-561534 Share on other sites More sharing options...
