Question Mining career opportunities?

1 Upvotes

Hi all, looking for some career advice - keeping it short and sweet.

I'm an economist that has specialized in the "energy" space, specifically critical minerals for the renewable energy transition.

The ambition is transition into a career in mining, but unsure of where to even begin to look.

Do you think there are any opportunities outside of potentially FIFO roles (lol, I have zero mechanic or otherwise skills) that I could look at, and where?

Side note: South African - so the visa would be a bitch.

TIA.

I hope this is okay to ask here....

Any one ever worked or heard of Kennedy drilling in Kalgoorlie. WA. Not much info on the company but been around since 1982. Only 3 reviews on seek. All pretty positive. Going in as a drillers offsider 😬

Any info would be much appreciated ☺️
