Technical role mining salaries - Hays
So according to Hays salary guide this year, mine geos are supposedly on 165k now.
I have 3 years of experience as a mine geo, and am working FIFO on an 8:6 roster on 130k + super + 10% bonus. No other allowances on top. 160k total package if I get the full bonus (which never happens of course). This is less than the supposed base (+ allowances?, unclear if they are factored into the 165k figure in Hays) I should be on, or at least close to.
Are mine geos really on this kind of coin these days with 3 years of experience, or is 165k more representative of a mine geo with 5-6 years of experience?
Feel like I'm being significantly underpaid after seeing the latest salary guide. Seems like with the allowances they get, the fresh grads straight out of uni at the iron ore companies are on more than me.
Any other mine geos here happy to state what their on, their commodity and years of experience, or even what they were making after getting a few years under their belt?
Thanks
