The resources industry is on the brink of transformation. With advancements in technology, increasing demand for skilled tradespeople, and a shift towards safety, sustainability, and innovation, now is the perfect time to build or pivot your career in this dynamic sector.
Whether you’re just getting started, moving into a new trade, or seeking growth within your field, the opportunities are immense. At NB Industries, we believe that your future is as vast and exciting as the industry itself. There has never been a better moment to take the next step.
According to the Australian Government’s Department of Industry, Science, and Resources, “Australia’s resources sector continues to play a key role in the global economy. Demand for our minerals and energy is expected to grow, driven by global infrastructure development and the transition to clean energy technologies.”
This growth brings unprecedented opportunities for those with the skills and ambition to contribute to the industry’s future. NB Industries, with its recent success in securing a long-term service agreement with Glencore, is perfectly positioned to lead this charge and help you build a rewarding future in automotive, heavy diesel, and communications.

At NB Industries, we believe that Attitude is Everything. It’s this mindset that drives us to foster a workplace where Solve and Share guide our approach. We empower our team to tackle challenges collaboratively, leveraging collective expertise to continuously grow—both individually and as a company.
Working in the mining and resources sector goes beyond the tools in hand. It’s about taking pride in your work, knowing that every effort contributes to the backbone of the Australian economy. The camaraderie at NB Industries is unmatched, driven by a shared sense of purpose and a commitment to excellence.

As Mick Selby, Director of NB Industries and a former tradesman himself, reflects, “I wanted to build a place where people are valued for their skills, supported in their growth, and given the opportunity to thrive in a truly collaborative environment. This industry is full of potential, and it’s important to me that we nurture that potential at every level.”
