Due to the expansion of their mining operation, the client was looking to recruit additional candidates for various roles.
The candidates needed specific experience and skills in the lithium mining industry. The existing site and staff were too small to offer on-site training and needed to hit the ground running in a fast-moving project.
In addition, the client needed to ensure the employment package was attractive, given the competitiveness of the market and the remote location of the mine, which required staff to live on-site for extended periods.
