Mining And Civil

Blue Tongue’s Mobile Plant Mechanic Advanced Group Training Program has been designed to solve a critical workforce gap in the mining industry, and take the headache out of the process for our clients.

Since 2011, Blue Tongue has sourced, selected, hired, upskilled (trained), relocated, and supported over 950 Light Vehicle Mechanics to work in mobile plant (mining).

We have achieved 93% retention and completion rate with all of our clients through the program, with 80% of our upskill workforce still working with our clients more than four years later.

At Blue Tongue, our clients leverage off our experience and proven track record in workforce planning to gain advantages in cost control, improve workforce retention, and achieve a high performance culture.

By leveraging off a solution that Blue Tongue has already invested in, trialled and tested, you save time, money, and most importantly get better results.

We are proud of the great relationships we’ve built with our client partners.

CASE STUDY MACA MINING

Blue Tongue started its partnership with MACA in 2011 after identifying an innovative solution to the growing shortage of Heavy Duty Technicians in the mining industry.

We consulted with MACA on their workforce planning requirements and built a bespoke program around this. After identifying a trusted RTO partner for the training, we hired skilled technicians and onboarded them as Blue Tongue employees. We took capital risk associated with the training and onboarding – a model we continue with today.

Our initial program was hugely successful with MACA continuing the partnership even through the mining downturn. Today, 10% of MACA’s entire workforce are sourced through Blue Tongue’s Advanced Group Training Programs.

“We’re better off than a lot of companies with the people we have and the level of direct employees as a result of what we’ve done maintaining the upskill program with Blue Tongue.”
