Polish Workers Eyed to Fill Australian Mining Industry Jobs

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 24, 2011 -- In a move to find hundreds of experienced underground coalminers, a Central Queensland company has eyed Poland as a source for these needs.
Coal mining contractor Mastermyne Group Ltd, a specialist provider of mining services to the Australian coal mining industry, is currently looking on Poland to source hundreds of experienced Polish underground miners for Queensland coal jobs.

According to the Mastermyne Group managing director Tony Caruso, the experienced Polish miners who will be on working visa in Australia would act to complement the 150 newer recruits of Australians  which are mostly Central Queenslanders  that it had trained from scratch. Moreover, a significant portion of these Polish workers are likely to set up home in Rockhampton where the company has one of its three divisions based out of Parkhurst, near Rockhampton.
A market leader in providing an extensive range of outsourced services to existing and new coal mining operations, the Mastermyne Group Ltd. Company has engaged the services of an international recruitment firm Randstad to source the Polish workers as it looks to add to its pool of experienced workers.
One of the top industrial sectors in Poland, mining has already employed more than 100,000 people in a nation of 38 million, which relies on coal to generate more than 90% of its electricity.

The emergence of the Polish option as a source for skilled workers, according to Mr. Caruso, is driven by the shortage of skilled and experienced Australians and was not being done in place of using local workers.
Mr. Caruso explained that the company wants as many Australians as possible to get in and take advantage of the currently booming mining industry and in order to achieve this goal, the company needs to recruit experienced staff.
The first 26 Polish workers on work visa to Australia are expected to arrive in two to three weeks. They will be trained at the company's Mackay training centre for three months and after which, they will be moved to jobs within the Queensland and NSW coal mines where the company operates.

Mr. Caruso also stated that before these Polish workers are hired, they would still be required to comply with the Australian visa requirements for work visa in Australia; that is meeting the high English speaking and reading levels.
According to Malgorzata Gorska, a Randstad spokeswoman, the recruitment project was a large-scale project that had already run for over three years.
Moreover, Ms. Gorska stated that hiring Polish miners is advantageous as these miners are well-qualified and, in general, operate the same machinery as used in Australian mines, or similar models, although machineries used by Australian mines are more modern.
