Paramedic

Employer: Fortescue
Location: Western Australia, Christmas Creek, Pilbara
Job no: 492786

Fortescue is the world's fourth largest iron ore producer. The heart of our operations lie in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, spanning from Port Hedland, across our heavy haul railway to our mines at Cloudbreak, Christmas Creek and Solomon.

In only a decade we've built one of Australia's leading resource companies. We began shipping iron-ore to our customers in 2008 and since then we have exported more than 240 million tonnes.

In 2013 we opened our fourth berth at our Port Hedland operation and the expansion at our Solomon Kings Mine will reach completion, allowing us to reach our production target of 155 million tonnes per annum.

This is an exciting time to join the Fortescue team as we consolidate our position as one of the world's largest iron-ore producers.
