Mining Recruitment,Perth Based andAustralia Wide.
Ezra Recruitment places permanent technical, operational and executive talent across the Australian mining and resources industry. Our head office is in Perth and we provide recruitment services Australia wide.
A specialist mining consultancy, not a generalist agency.
Most agencies that cover mining cover five other sectors alongside it. We do not. Every search Ezra Recruitment runs is a mining or resources search, and every shortlist is assembled by consultants who work in this industry and nothing else.
That matters because mining hiring does not forgive shortcuts. An open pit geotechnical superintendent is not a substitute for an underground one. A metallurgist from an iron ore circuit is not interchangeable with one from a gold or lithium plant. We treat discipline, commodity and open pit versus underground experience as screening criteria, not as nice to have.
Rather than assessing a CV in isolation, we benchmark candidates against the people already doing the job at your site, so you can see exactly where a shortlist sits against your current team before you spend an hour interviewing.
What clients and candidates say afterwards.
Attentive, responsive and adapted to the hiring needs as they evolved, consistently presenting candidates to fit the team dynamics and skills required. A great pleasure to work with and we would happily work with them again.
I had been actively looking for a new role but had not seen this position, as it was not advertised. The process was quick, and when there were delays I was kept in contact and told what was happening at each stage.
Honest, reliable and very good mediators between employers and candidates. I was hesitant about looking for new opportunities, however Ezra helped me secure a geotechnical engineer offer I could not turn down.
The mining disciplines we recruit across Australia.
Exploration and Geology
Exploration geologists, project and senior exploration geologists, mine geologists across open pit and underground, geology managers, core logging geologists, and field and geology technicians.
Mine Engineering
Mine engineers, planning engineers, drill and blast engineers and mine surveyors, recruited separately for open pit and underground operations.
Geotechnical Engineering
Geotechnical engineers, superintendents and consultants. Open pit and underground are treated as distinct specialisations, because on site they are.
Processing and Metallurgy
Metallurgists, process coordinators, supervisors and superintendents, plant training advisors and process technicians across gold, lithium, nickel, copper and base metals circuits.
Health, Safety and Environment
HSE advisors, coordinators and superintendents for both site based and city based corporate roles, including statutory and compliance focused appointments.
Operations and Support
Pit technicians, field and geology technicians, production supervisors and skilled operational staff supporting open pit and underground production.
Management and Executive Search
Quarry managers, underground and alternate managers, general managers, managing directors, non executive directors and board appointments for ASX listed explorers and producers.

Open pit, underground, every mining state.
Our head office is in Perth and we provide recruitment services Australia wide, for operations, projects and head offices in every mining state. Open pit and underground are treated as separate disciplines from the first conversation.
Western Australia
Nationally
Most site roles we fill are FIFO from a capital city or a regional hub, on rosters ranging from 8:6 and 2:1 through to 4:3 and residential arrangements. Roster fit is treated as a screening criterion, because it is one of the most frequent reasons a strong technical candidate declines an offer.
Our mining recruitment process.
Job clarification
We define the role, the technical must haves, the roster, the commodity and circuit context, and the team the person is joining.
Targeted search
Direct approach through our national mining network, our own database and targeted market mapping, rather than waiting on job board applicants.
Benchmarked shortlist
Every candidate is screened and benchmarked against your site incumbents, then submitted with written analysis rather than a bare CV.
Offer and aftercare
We manage interviews, offer and negotiation, coordinate medicals and start dates, then follow up after the placement to protect it.
Corporate, technical services and executive search.
Executive and board appointments
Managing directors, general managers, non executive directors and board appointments for ASX listed explorers, developers and producers. Confidential search led by our senior consultants.
Head office and technical services
The city based roles that keep operations running: technical services, resource and reserve reporting, study teams, planning, and the commercial functions that sit alongside them.
A team you can sit down with
Our consultants stay with you from the first conversation through to aftercare. You are welcome to come into our Perth office and work through a brief in person rather than over email.
