Proven ADF-to-mining workforce pathway
Build your Heavy Mobile Plant talent pipeline
Ironside Resources recruits experienced ADF heavy vehicle mechanics and manages a structured pathway toward the AUR31220 Certificate III in Mobile Plant Technology, combining targeted gap training with supervised onsite experience.
Results and timeframes vary by cohort, RTO assessment, site exposure and individual performance.
A proven model, built around your workforce
We attract and screen ADF heavy vehicle mechanics for trade eligibility, performance, safety mindset, mobility and long-term fit.
An approved RTO assesses prior learning and delivers the required gap training toward AUR31220 Certificate III in Mobile Plant Technology.
Participants build mine-site competence through supervised practical exposure, supported by workplace evidence, logbooks and RTO assessment.
Ironside employs participants during the pathway, giving the partner visibility of capability and fit before an agreed permanent conversion.
