Expressions of Interest Blind Bored Ventilation Shaft Project

About the Project

Abergeldie has been engaged to deliver one of the most technically challenging underground projects in Australia, the design and construction of two blind-bored ventilation shafts as part of a gold-copper mine expansion in Western Australia. The complex scope includes;

• Two shafts developed concurrently, each approximately 430 metre deep.
• 6.2 metre cut diameter, finished at 5 metre internal diameter.
• Significant surface civil works, permanent composite liners, annular grout and shaft cover.

Projects of this scale and complexity are exceptionally rare in Australia, making this a unique opportunity for tunnelling and underground professionals.

About Abergeldie’s Underground Team

We are specialists in the delivery of complex underground infrastructure throughout Australia and New Zealand, with proven expertise in various forms of tunnelling and shaft construction in both the civil infrastructure and mining industries. Our in-house fleet of Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) is equipped to handle a range of ground conditions, and our world-leading deep shaft blind boring rigs, among the largest globally, are owned, operated and maintained by our skilled teams.

About the Opportunities

Our tunnelling team is growing, and we are seeking expressions of interest for this ventilation shaft project as well as other upcoming tunnelling projects. These roles will be FIFO (ideally from the East Coast) to Western Australia. Beyond this project, there will be further opportunities across the Eastern states of Australia (Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane).

We are particularly interested in hearing from experienced Project Managers with specialist expertise in blind boring, including those based internationally who are open to relocating to Australia. This is an outstanding opportunity to build your career on some of the most complex underground projects in the world.

If you’re already planning a move or simply open to a new challenge, we offer sponsorship and relocation support to help make your transition down under seamless.
