Don't forget about mine site construction projects. They all need earth works done.
A lot of new mines and expansions are expected to start in Central Queensland in the near future. Thats how I got into the mining industry 4 years ago starting as a trade assistant, after nine months of trying, being persistant and paying for my own generics I got a start.

Check out Theiss, John Holland, Bechtel, and the LNG projects on Curtis Island at Gladstone.
