Whether you’re working in healthcare, teaching, construction, or anything else we would love you to take a browse of the opportunities and consider calling Kalgoorlie-Boulder home.

The City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder has historically been a significant hub of industrial mining, including gold, nickel, cobalt, and lithium. Because of its unique location the region hosts the Western Australian School of Mines, a globally renowned institution for minerals and mining engineering.

Beyond the mining sector, the City boasts a very diverse economic landscape, with a growing population, and as an increasingly popular tourism destination. The economic growth of the City is projected to be in excess of 3% per annum, as opposed to approximately 2% for the Perth metro area. The growing population requires more staff to continue this level of growth.

It is expected that there will be a 34% increase in job opportunities by 2030. To cater for this growth there is the demand for new workers to the region, bringing with them a range of skills and experience levels.
