🔦BRANCH SPOTLIGHT - Kalgoorlie, WA
Kalgoorlie is one of the most remote regions serviced by Onsite - and one of the most important. Located in the heart of Western Australia's Goldfields, around 600km east of Perth, it's home to some of Australia's largest gold mining operations and a resources sector that helps power the nation's economy.
Supporting this vast region is Onsite Kalgoorlie. Established in 2009, team services one of Onsite's largest operating footprints, covering around 2,000km of remote WA - from Esperance in the south to Wiluna in the north and west to Merredin.
With a large client base operating in the mining sector, the branch has grown alongside the Goldfields and the industries that drive them. As Branch Manager Michael McLeod explains, ""In the last five years, mining has changed dramatically, and Onsite Kalgoorlie has evolved with it.""
That evolution is reflected in the equipment that clients need. While heavy earthmoving equipment once dominated demand during mine construction, the branch now primarily supports operations with access equipment, lighting plans and power generation solutions.
Key highlights:
• Supporting mining clients across some of WA's most remote locations
• Contributing to a major two-year project to relocate the primary mill and crusher at the largest gold mine in the Southern Hemisphere
• Assisting the region during a major blackout, helping restore power across Kalgoorlie
Perhaps the branch's greatest achievement isn't a project, but rather its people. As Michael puts it, ""Making them feel happy and safe to come to work.""
That culture begins with daily pre-starts and is built on strong local relationships, including team members like Ashley Grace, who has been supporting Onsite operations in the Goldfields for 15 years. It also extends beyond the yard. As Michael says, ""We at Onsite have received so much for Kalgoorlie, we try to give back when we can.""
From mine sites and maintenance shutdowns to local events and critical infrastructure support, the Kalgoorlie team helps keep the Goldfields moving.
