ABOUT THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN MINE WORKERS ALLIANCE
The Western Mine Workers Alliance (WMWA) is a well-established organisation operated by Australia’s two biggest mining Unions, the Australian Workers’ Union (AWU), and the Mining and Energy Union (MEU). The WMWA leads the way fighting for workers’ safety, wages and conditions and respect at work. We cover workers throughout Western Australia’s Pilbara Mining and Port Operations.

ABOUT THE ROLE
We are again expanding our organising team and are looking forward to offering the right person a great opportunity to be part of a highly motivated and professional team. You will be fully supported by both Unions, report to our Pilbara Lead Organisers and be working within our well established organising team. You will find yourself working across the Pilbara Mining and Port Operations as well as other associated areas, while being based out of either Tom Price, Karratha, Newman or Port Hedland.

You will play an integral role in planning, implementing, and reviewing strategic organising campaigns. Key responsibilities will include engaging current members, recruiting new members, assessing campaign targets, setting up organising committees, addressing workplace safety concerns, resolving industrial issues, and conducting site or town visits to areas where members and potential members work and live.

BENEFITS AND PERKS
This role offers a very good work life balance opportunity in a truly remarkable part of Australia. The position offers a strong employment package inclusive of a competitive salary, a great roster, generous leave provisions and other terrific personal benefits. You will be supplied a Pilbara based vehicle, laptop computer, and mobile phone. The role provides genuine opportunities for ongoing career development through employer-sponsored training and support.

SELECTION CRITERIA
To be successful in this role, you will need to be self-motivated and accountable. You must align with our values such as honesty, integrity, authenticity, respect and fairness. You will be required to work responsibly, sometimes within a team and at other times independently. It would be great if you have lived experiences of getting people to work together, even better if you have ever developed people into leaders. You will need to be able to purposefully communicate with a wide range of people. You will need to be comfortable with and reasonably capable with a computer, be able to perform regular data entry and have good written communication skills.

You will be required to supply a Police Check and have a current driver’s licence.
