“As a working mother it can sometimes be tough to constantly balance work and home commitments. Working for QMAG allows the flexibility of being able to have a career, but also be there for your family.”
Carli Williams, Maintenance and engineering manager
“I started with QMAG in November 1991, just as they were commissioning Line 2 of the deadburned magnesia plant. I work in the electrofusion plant, and while the plant hasn’t changed too much over the years, the way we approach safety has really improved, particularly in engineering controls to keep us safe. I really enjoy the company of the blokes I work with – at one stage I had three brothers working here, but they’ve all retired now.”
Terry Pearce, Electrofusion operator
We look forward to your application.
