Mader Group

One of our lads Paddy has been flat out on a full rebuild of this Normet for one of our valued clients in Wangara 💪

Anyone who’s worked on these knows they’re no walk in the park. Takes the right attitude and a solid work ethic to get it done properly.

Paddy’s got both in spades. Just gets in, gets stuck into it, and delivers every time 👊

Big shoutout to the women powering mining forward 👷‍♀️

This International Day of Women in Mining, we’re backing the skilled women across Mader who are knocking down stereotypes, getting stuck in and building solid careers in the industry.

From the workshop floor to leadership roles, out on site and across support crews, our people show there’s no limit if you’re keen to learn and put in the work.

Here’s to the women in mining paving the way for the next generation 💙

Mader is proud to sponsor local WA grom Cruz Uros as he takes on some of the biggest surf comps in the world 🌊

Growing up around Dunsborough and Yallingup, Cruz has been surfing and skating since he was a little bloke, and now at just 13 he’s already competed at multiple Stab High events across Japan, Sydney and the USA, even finishing 4th in Sydney.

He’s proof that hard work, backing yourself and having a crack can take you a long way. Still balancing school while chasing the dream of going pro, Cruz is an unreal young talent and we’re stoked to support him on the journey 🤙

I’m a Mechanical Fitter, Team Leader, and Supervisor at Mader Group, specialising in fixed plant maintenance across gold and iron ore operations in WA.

I didn’t get here by accident. My dad was a Chief Mechanic in oil & gas, so growing up around machines, pressure, and responsibility made this path personal. My goal was simple. Build a career strong enough to carry his legacy forward.

Like many fresh engineering graduates, I faced rejection in oil & gas until Mader offered me a Trade Assistant role. I told Matt, “I’ll give 100% if Mader keeps me busy.” Safe to say… both sides held up their end. My first site showed me the respect and culture that sets Mader apart.
After multiple maintenance swings and shutdowns across WA, a call changed everything. Step up, complete your RPL, and move forward as a Fitter. “Matt and Shannon didn’t just see where I was, they saw where I could go.”

Then came my first “3 Gear” event at Karijini, where I met the legend Nashy (aka Big Red). I’m not exactly a “water person,” yet somehow I ended up stuck in the water for two days 😂. That trip showed me Mader is about more than work. It’s about people, culture, and experiences you won’t get anywhere else.

Things started to click. I became a Mechanical Fitter, gained confidence, and even got married 💍. Before long, I stepped into a Team Leader role and was later named Outstanding Employee of the Year at the Mader Christmas Party.

From there came bigger responsibilities. KPIs, supervising major shutdowns, covering multiple sites, and epic trips away with the crew, including Mount Hart with Nashy, Justin, and Luke Mader.
2026 kicked off with a four-week swing on Christmas Island, Level 2 Team Leader training, and now I’m heading back to site as a Processing Supervisor.

What started as a random opportunity turned into a career I’m proud of. And the best part? I’m just getting started.

Most days, everything runs according to plan. On the other days....my phone rings.

The crew hit up the TruckX Truck Show in the Hunter Valley 🛻.

Sunday’s golf challenge? Snap the best selfie - and would you believe it... they won with a Van Damme tribute!🏆

Jovani, top effort mate, but we reckon those splits could’ve gone a bit lower!
