Work With Us
ASD is a boutique drill and blast contractor based in Kalgoorlie, and we intend to stay that way. Being a manageable size means our people are names rather than numbers, our management is hands-on and on the ground, and a good idea from a driller can change how we do things the following shift.
We run a modern Atlas Copco and Epiroc fleet, we maintain it ourselves, and we back every crew with 24/7 mechanical field support. If you want to work on well-maintained gear, alongside people who take safety seriously and still enjoy the job, we would like to hear from you.
Why ASDWA?
- A genuine, lived safety culture where stopping the job is always the right call
- Modern, well-maintained Atlas Copco and Epiroc rigs backed by an in-house maintenance team
- Hands-on owners and directors with more than 50 years of combined industry experience
- Structured training, competency assessment and support to add tickets to your name
- Local hiring wherever possible, so you can work in the Goldfields and still get home
- A crew small enough that your work is noticed and your input counts
Roles We Hire For
Recruitment at ASD moves with our project schedule, so the mix changes through the year. The roles we hire for most often include:
Blast hole drillers and drill offsiders
Grade control drillers and samplers
Drill and blast supervisors
Field service and maintenance fitters
Trades assistants and support crew
Trainees & apprentices through our Next Generation program
The Next Generation
We hire locally where we can, and we support regional programs that give younger people in the Goldfields a start in the industry.
If you are early in your career and willing to learn, ASD is a good place to build a trade and a ticket list, because you will work directly alongside people who have been doing this for decades.
Safety and Wellbeing
Safety is the first item on our core values list for a reason. Every ASD worker completes a full company induction, works to documented risk assessment tools such as Take-5 and Job Hazard Analysis, and is briefed daily through Pre-Shift Instruction meetings and weekly Safety Toolbox sessions.
We also take the parts of the job that are harder to see just as seriously. ASD is committed to a psychologically safe workplace, and our people have confidential access to an Employee Assistance Program for support when they need it.
What We Look For
A safety-first attitude and the confidence to speak up
Reliability, because remote sites depend on people turning up ready to work
A willingness to be multi-skilled and lend a hand
Relevant tickets and licences or the drive to work towards them
The ability to pass a pre-employment medical and ongoing drug and alcohol testing
How to Apply
Send us your details and we will keep you in mind as roles come up. Email us a current resume and let us know the tickets you hold, the equipment you have run and when you are available to start.
