SUPERVISORS | BOILERMAKERS | FITTERS | ADVANCED RIGGERS | TRADE ASSISTANTS

De Goey Contractors (DGC) is seeking qualified individuals to join the Berth 1 – Shiploader 1A Installation Project at Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal.

This is more than a standard shutdown – it’s a major heavy-lift and infrastructure installation project at Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal.

The project will involve the removal of the existing shiploader and installation of a new shiploader onto Berth 1, including a major 2,000-tonne lift onto the berth.

A Heavy Lift Vessel (HLV) will travel from Western Australia carrying the new shiploader to site. Following installation, the HLV will transport the existing shiploader back to Western Australia.

A 2,000-tonne lift. A major shiploader installation. A project you don’t get the opportunity to work on every day.
