New To Mining

Due to an overwhelming response to previous advertisements, Donaldson Coal is not currently accepting inexperienced mineworker (cleanskin) applications. If this changes in the future, the position will be advertised on the Donaldson Coal website and a reference to the position will be provided.

Is Mining for You?

If you’re new to mining, or even just considering a mining career, this page is for you.
New miners, or ‘cleanskins’, are an important part of our workforce. As we gear up to open two new underground mines we will employ cleanskins directly.

If you’re considering applying, it’s important that you:

• Understand what mining is like, particularly if you’ve never been underground. We provide a number of information evenings and tests in our application process.
• Understand the application process.
