Western Australia’s Mining Industry

Western Australia’s mining industry is a powerhouse, fuelling economic growth and providing thousands of jobs across the state. But behind every successful mining operation is a highly skilled workforce—one that is adaptable, safety-conscious, and equipped to handle the industry’s evolving challenges. At Blackstone Services Pty Ltd, we are committed to bridging the skills gap, providing industry-leading training, and ensuring businesses have access to the best talent available.

Building a Workforce that Powers the Mining Industry

Mining is more than just machinery and mineral extraction—it’s a dynamic industry that requires expertise, precision, and an unwavering commitment to safety. The demand for skilled workers is constant, yet finding the right talent remains a challenge for many companies.

That’s where Blackstone Services steps in. Through our comprehensive workforce solutions, we provide mining companies with job-ready professionals who understand the complexities of the industry. Our tailored Labour Hire services ensure businesses get access to the right people at the right time—whether for short-term projects, shutdowns, or long-term workforce solutions.

Training the Next Generation of Mining Professionals

A highly skilled workforce doesn’t happen by chance—it’s built through rigorous training, hands-on experience, and strong mentorship. Blackstone Services takes workforce development seriously, which is why we offer structured training programs through our Group Training Organisation (GTO).

Our GTO programs go beyond theory, preparing aspiring professionals for real-world mining environments. With industry-recognised qualifications, expert mentorship, and practical learning, we ensure that our trainees are ready to contribute from day one. More than just filling roles, we are future-proofing the workforce, giving businesses access to skilled, safety-focused professionals who meet the industry's high standards.

Flexible Workforce Solutions for an Ever-Changing Industry

The mining sector is known for its cyclical nature—boom periods, downturns, project expansions, and unexpected workforce shortages. Businesses need agile, scalable staffing solutions that adapt to industry demands without compromising productivity.

Blackstone Services provides just that. Our Labour Hire solutions allow businesses to scale their workforce up or down as needed, ensuring efficiency without the overheads of permanent employment. By taking care of recruitment, vetting, and placement, we allow mining companies to focus on what they do best—driving production and profitability.

Supporting Indigenous Employment & Local Communities

As a proudly Western Australian company, Blackstone Services is committed to empowering Indigenous and local communities. We actively collaborate with Indigenous groups to create employment pathways that offer career growth, skills development, and long-term opportunities in the mining sector.

We believe in building a workforce that reflects the diversity and strength of Western Australia. Through targeted training programs and employment initiatives, we help Indigenous workers gain the qualifications and experience needed to thrive in mining roles, ensuring businesses meet workforce diversity targets while contributing to positive social impact.

Top-Tier Plant Hire to Keep Operations Moving

People aren’t the only key to success in mining—reliable machinery and equipment are just as crucial. To support businesses with their operational needs, Blackstone Services offers Plant Hire solutions, providing access to well-maintained, industry-grade equipment without the heavy capital investment.

From excavators and haul trucks to specialist mining machinery, our fleet is designed to meet the demands of Western Australia’s toughest worksites. Whether businesses need short-term rentals or long-term equipment hire, we offer flexible and cost-effective solutions that keep projects moving.
