Coal jobs

Coal splits into metallurgical (steelmaking) and thermal (power generation) grades, mined via longwall and open-cut methods depending on the deposit.

Where it's mined: Queensland's Bowen Basin and NSW's Hunter Valley are the major Australian regions, alongside large operations in the US, Indonesia and South Africa.

Common roles: Longwall and continuous-miner operators, dragline operators on open-cut sites, and ventilation/gas-management specialists underground.
