Stay Local, Work For DBCT

Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal Pty Ltd (DBCT P/L) strives to be an employer of choice for the Mackay Region, constantly reviewing and improving what they offer their employees.

With the tight employment market, what is offered to workers has been a focus, and the good news is if people know they’d like to work at DBCT P/L, they have the option to sign up for job alerts so they can be notified about positions vacant.

DBCT P/L CEO, Steve Rae, said as well as being competitive for salaries and wages, employees had the advantage of being home after every shift.

“Being located just 30 minutes south of Mackay means you don’t have to do DIDO or FIFO. We’ve also worked hard with our shift workers to ensure those on shifts have rosters that allow for work/life balance,” Steve said.

“We also have an excellent employee proposition, meaning we have great offerings for our people to access.”

Some of the benefits of working for DBCT P/L include:

   • Minimum of five weeks annual leave (pro rata)
   • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
   • Employee rewards program for discounts for goods and services
   • Health and wellbeing program
   • Employee Family Day and Christmas Party
   • Bonuses
   • Novated Leasing
   • Professional development support and opportunities

With a significant level of maintenance work underway at the terminal, DBCT P/L and their contracting partners are looking for more workers on a regular basis.

Steve said it had previously been harder to get a job at DBCT P/L due to the low turn-over rate, however, expansions to both workforce and contracting positions, along with retirements of long-serving employees, has meant there have been more vacancies.  

“In particular, we’ve been looking for people in the maintenance space such as planners, engineers and supervisors.

“We’ve been hiring tradespeople and professionals, so the best way to know if there’s a job that’s a fit for you is to sign up for job alerts via the employment page on our website.”

Steve said DBCT P/L had not only worked hard to offer great rewards to its employees, but to also be a company that its people are proud to work for.

“We have strong cultural and sustainability plans to guide us for how we look after our workers, our community, and our environment, as well how we operate as a business.

“Our sponsorship program aims to support the liveability of Mackay by funding a wide range of organisations, events and programs in the region.

“We even have a dedicated employee sponsorship program that provides funding for organisations and events with an employee link.”
