It isn't too late! Vacation work jobs are still open!

Vacation work opportunities with BMA, Vale, Thiess and CRL are still open.

Vacation work (Vac work) with a minerals or energy company is a short-term paid position offered to undergraduate students. Vac work is usually on a mine site or at a power station, and is a great opportunity for students to experience a resources sector career and the associated lifestyle. Most of QRC’s member companies offer summer vacation work from December – February each year and some companies offer opportunities for winter vacation work during June – July.

Companies offer vac work to students who they think best fit their company. You don’t necessarily have to have top grades for example as companies usually look for someone with a genuine interest in their organisation and the resources sector, a good work ethic and positive attitude. Many companies use vac work as a filter for identifying potential graduates.

Securing a vac work opportunity is competitive but students should not be deterred. Hundreds of students gain vac work with Queensland minerals and energy companies each year. We recommend that even first year university students apply as our member companies have a good track record of investing in first year vac work students.

To view all the vac work opportunities available with minerals and energy companies, see QRC’s Facebook Group 'Vac work with mining and energy companies'

Please note that you do not have to be registered with Facebook to view this information however we encourage people who are registered with Facebook to join this group to receive regular updates on new vac work opportunities.

Jellinbah Resources 2008-09 vacation work

Jellinbah Resources, the inspiration behind the 'Confessions of a Vac Work Student: The Bubbles Incident' You Tube video, is taking vac work applications until Friday 21 November 2008.

Jellinbah has two vacation work places in mining and metallurgical engineering for the summer. http://www.jellinbah.com.au/.

Here is the info from Jellinbah:
Mining Operations (truck operations)
Preferably a mining engineering student. Their experience can be logged towards Statutory Qualifications. Working arrangements are 12 hour shifts Monday to Thursday rotating day/night on a weekly basis. Applications are open to all year levels of students.

Minerals Process Engineering
3rd or 4th year Metallurgical engineering student required. The student should be able to participate in some efficiency improvement schemes at the mine's contract Coal Preparation Plant. This is a good opportunity for a student looking for a final year project.Working arrangements – Monday to Thursday day shift, working every 3rd Friday. 12 hour shifts.

For both positions, Jellinbah will provide accommodation and transport to and from work. As the mine shuts down 20th December to 4th January, two return tickets will be supplied (Brisbane to Blackwater).

Applications due Friday 21 November 2008. Please send to Sue Olive solive@jellinbah.com.au. Applications should include details of any previous work experience (and supporting referees), academic records and extracurricular activities. (My additional advice - do some research on the company!)

If the student does not have Australian citizenship, include any details on visas enabling them to work.

Good luck!
