Stop Chasing Shutdowns. Join the Crew That Has Them.

At Freo Group, we're building something different.

We're not looking for operators for one shutdown.

We're building the most committed shutdown workforce — a team of skilled operators who want consistent work, strong crews, quality leadership and a company that genuinely values loyalty.

With a growing pipeline of Shutdowns work across Cloncurry and Mount Isa, we are seeking experienced Crane Operators and Riggers to join a team that operators want to come back to — again and again.

We have a 3-month continuous Shut Down Commencing in the coming months.

Why Join Freo?

That's why we're focused on providing certainty, recognition and opportunity.

✔ Consistent shutdown opportunities across the year

✔ Competitive rates and regular work

✔ Priority access to future shutdowns for high-performing operators

✔ Modern and well-maintained fleet

✔ Travel, accommodation and various allowances provided

✔ Strong crews, experienced supervisors and supportive leadership

✔ Opportunity to transition into ongoing and permanent positions

✔ A company that values loyalty, safety and performance

What We're Looking For

We are seeking experienced Crane operators & Riggers with any of the following:

• C6 Slewing Crane Operators

• C1 Crane Operators

• CO Crane Operators

• CN Franna Operators

• RI, RA - Riggers

To be successful, you will have:

• High Risk Work Licence

The Freo Difference
