Terry Everett
Excavator Operator, Byerwen

I started my journey with Macmahon as a multi-skilled operator in the production team. Today, I’m a skilled excavator operator, thanks to the incredible opportunities Macmahon has given me to grow and advance in my mining career.

One of the biggest perks for me is the bus transport service. It takes me to and from my hometown of Townsville to the Byerwen Mine, which is a huge relief. It takes the stress out of driving after my shift and makes me feel much safer.

I also love the 7 days on, 7 days off roster. It gives me the work-life balance I need. But it’s not just the job that keeps me going—it’s the mateship with my crew. They’re like a second family to me, and working with them makes every day on-site a positive experience.

Safety is my top priority, and I really appreciate the safety culture at Macmahon. If something doesn’t feel right, I have no problem raising my concerns and feel supported by my supervisors to do so. I’d rather stop and ask questions than take unnecessary risks.

I enjoy the BBQ facilities at the camp, which adds to the relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

If you’re considering joining the Macmahon team, I say go for it! The opportunities, the camaraderie, and the work-life balance make it an amazing place to be.
