A career in the mines is attracting lot of women in Australia. Many people think that it’s difficult for women to survive and thrive a in this male-dominated industry, however, that is not completely true. Women have not only managed to cope but some have even turned their mining jobs into successful careers.

Laura Hayman is a senior geotechnical engineer with Coffey Mining. She was a RMIT graduate and has a degree in Applied Geology and Geological Engineering. She recently completed her Masters in Engineering Science in Mining Geomechanics at the WA School of Mines.

She has been working as a FIFO worker for past 9 years and has worked on some of Australia’s biggest mining projects. She shares her experience and some tips on how to make a successful career in the mining industry:

Build a support group:
It’s essential to network with people. The mining industry is a close-knit group and living on mining sites for weeks together breeds a sense of camaraderie between fellow workers. The challenges of the job can be daunting but with the right kind of people around, you can deal with everyday stress in a better way. A support group allows you to maintain a sound perspective and time-to-time counselling helps in managing challenging situations level-headedly.

Have a clear vision of your goals:
Have clear objectives and discuss your targets with your manager regularly in order to stay focused. Be optimistic about the workplace and develop positive problem-solving skills. Try handling tricky situations with humour; personalising the problem will alienate you and will create issues with other colleagues.

Perseverance pays:
Don’t give up easily; there will be situations that can prove difficult to handle but moving ahead is the only way you will get over it quickly. Adjust your thinking style and don’t fall prey to unhelpful thinking patterns. Try to remain positive at all times and be mindful of the bigger objective you are there to achieve.

Be a FIFO survivor:
Being away from family and friends for a long time can prove stressful; but maintaining a work-life balance will help you in managing stress better. Having a disciplined routine will allow in sustaining a rewarding FIFO-lifestyle. Keeping alcohol consumption to a minimum and exercising regularly will enhance sense of personal well-being allowing you to handle pressures of work and family better.

By the year 2018, employment in the oil and gas sector is expected to increase by 57%. According to the 2013 resources skills study by the Australian Workforce and Productivity Agency (AWPA), professional and specialist employment will continue to rise as nearly 40,000 resource operations jobs will be created.

In the coming years, the Australian resources industry will see a significant shift from a construction phase to a production phase. However, the mining operations jobs will continue to grow and will jump from 236,690 this year to nearly 254,260 by 2018.

It have been reported that the Australian resources industry is facing a skills shortage for high-level specialist operators with a broad range of experience. Philip Bullock, Chairperson of AWPA said: “As our resource sector transitions to an operations phase and we embark on major liquefied natural gas and coal seam projects, resources companies will face challenges in recruiting and retaining workers with the required specialist operational skills and experience.”

Bullock also said that in order to fulfil future demands for skilled workers, the industry, government and education providers have to work together to develop resources to produce home grown talent to meet the skills challenge in this sector. The Australian workforce planning will have to work quickly to address the deficit in domestic workers to fill the time-critical shortages in the second half of the decade.

Chair of AWPA’s reference group Keith Spence said: “Having people who are multi-skilled is highly valuable, so those trade workers that are transitioning out of construction into operations that can have these supplementary skills can become extremely valuable and attractive employees in the future.”

Massive opportunities are identified in the resources sector as the industry moves from the construction phase to operations phase.
