Basically the equivalent of working on a farm. Good pay though
This plant is still going through the final stages of Commissioning, but has been producing and exporting for quite some time.
As with all new plants, they are going through the teething phase and ironing out all the early faults and adjustments.
Camp is quite good with large modern rooms, the food is little bit of hit and miss but usually caters for all tastes. (you get that everywhere)
Due to a small group of contractors playing up, the wet mess is only open for one hr: 6:00 - 7:00pm. Takeaways from 5:30-7:00 (only 1 x 6 Pack per person/Per day) but this will be reviewed for change at the end of commissioning.
If your looking for a long term job, with good camp / pay and great roster (8 & 6) only 1 hr flight from Perth, this would be the place for you!
Just wanted to warn prospective employee's, had an interview with these guys and discovered that they are paying very poorly compared to industry standard.

Worked her through construction phase, Great camp everything you need except wifi, meals were a bit hit and miss. Great site, plant is large and well put together. Work here and you will gain a very good understanding of fixed plant work.
