Underground hard rock mining services across Australia and North America
Barminco operates a 1,000+ person underground mining services business spanning Australia and North America, with an operations-heavy staffing mix (29 ops roles) focused on reducing machine downtime and standardizing training delivery across global sites. The tech stack is mature enterprise (SAP, Oracle, SCADA, Aconex) with no active replacements, but the project list reveals internal operational friction: data integrity programs, curriculum standardization, and procedure-to-practice gap closure suggest the company is investing in process discipline rather than tooling innovation.
Barminco is one of the world's largest hard rock underground mining services providers, operating across Australia and North America. The company delivers underground mining and diamond drilling services at scale, supported by a large professional workforce and equipment fleet. Barminco is part of Perenti, a diversified global mining services group founded in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia in 1987. The business serves mid-market and enterprise mining operators, with hiring concentrated in operations, engineering, and logistics roles across Australia and Canada. Current priorities include compliance, reducing downtime, training standardization, and talent development.
SAP for enterprise resource planning, Oracle for database systems, SCADA for operational control, Aconex for project management, and Microsoft Office suite (Excel, Word, Outlook) for day-to-day work.
