Coal salaries

Coal roles span everything from exploration and drill & blast through processing, maintenance, and site services, across FIFO, DIDO, and residential rosters. Site type, roster, and location usually move the number more than the commodity itself, so treat the figures below as a starting point rather than a single number to expect everywhere.

Based on live job ads posted on FiFoDiDo, not a formal industry survey. Grouped by site type, currency, and pay period rather than converted or blended together.

Not enough coal ads with salary data yet to show a reliable range. Browse coal jobs directly instead.

Figures come only from ads with salary data supplied by the employer, and reflect what's currently live on FiFoDiDo rather than total industry pay. They're not converted across currencies or pay periods, so a range shown in AUD/yr and one in USD/hr for the same commodity are deliberately kept separate.
