Mining workforce & maintenance, without the guesswork
When production's on the line, you don't want to gamble on who walks through the gate.
We supply qualified tradespeople and hands-on maintenance support built around one thing: keeping your operation running safely and on schedule. Extra crew for a shutdown, a fast response to a breakdown, or a mining tray refurbished back to spec, we've got the people and the gear to make it happen.
REPAIRS & FABRICATION
Workshop repairs, refurbishment and fabrication, specialising in mining tray repairs, wear packages, crack repairs and structural work, returned ready to run.
ON-SITE MAINTENANCE
Dependable support for planned maintenance, breakdowns, repairs and shutdowns, backed by our own mine-spec vehicles, tooling and boilermaker trailers to cut downtime.
SKILLED LABOUR HIRE
Experienced, site-ready tradespeople, heavy diesel fitters, boilermakers, auto electricians, Franna crane operators, trade assistants, supervisors and site crews, for shutdowns, projects, planned leave or ongoing coverage.
Why mine sites keep calling CWS heavy maintenance repairs
We're not the biggest name in the Basin, and that's the point. Work with us and you deal directly with the owners, people who've done the work and know what an hour of downtime really costs.
We're a Mackay family business that understands mining from the inside, because we've spent our careers on the tools, on the sites, and in the thick of shutdowns ourselves. Since 2010, CWS Heavy Maintenance Repairs has supplied heavy maintenance, repairs and skilled, site-ready tradespeople to mines, quarries and resource operations across the Bowen Basin.
That hands-on, owner-run approach is exactly why mine sites keep calling us back:
Experienced & qualified: site-ready fitters, boilermakers and crews, matched to your role and worksite, inducted and ready to work from day one.
Heavy maintenance done right: planned maintenance, breakdowns, shutdowns and tray repairs, completed to industry standard the first time.
Safety-first, genuinely: a proactive safety culture on every job, not a poster on the wall.
Fast to mobilise: based in Mackay, in the heart of the Basin, so we respond quickly when "urgent" means today, not next week.
Fully equipped: our own mine-spec vehicles, tooling and boilermaker trailers, plus a Mackay workshop for off-site repairs and fabrication.
Family-owned since 2010: honest communication, a genuine hands-on approach, and people who back their crew and their work.
Whether it's extra crew for a shutdown, a fast breakdown response, or a mining tray refurbished back to spec, you'll get the same thing every time: reliable people, quality workmanship, and a team that turns up prepared.
The trades & crews we supply
We supply experienced, site-ready mining personnel, matched to your job, not just whoever's free. From a single fitter to a full shutdown crew, our people arrive inducted, ticketed and ready to work across the Bowen Basin and regional Queensland.
Heavy diesel fitters: servicing, repairs and maintenance on mobile and fixed plant, haul trucks, excavators, loaders and dozers.
Boilermakers: structural repairs, fabrication, crack repairs and wear-package work.
Auto electricians: diagnosing and repairing electrical faults on mining plant and equipment.
Franna crane operators: certified operators for lifts, shutdowns and site support.
Trade assistants: hands-on support to keep your crews and shutdowns moving.
Supervisors & superintendents: experienced site leadership for shutdowns and projects.
General site crews: reliable labour and support for day-to-day operations.
Every person we place is picked to suit the role and the site, qualified, inducted and briefed, so you get productive people from day one, whether it's a few days of shutdown cover or ongoing labour hire.
How we work with you
01
Enquiry & scope
Tell us your timeline, labour needs or maintenance requirements. We ask the right questions up front so nothing gets missed.
02
Mobilisation
We match qualified, site-ready people to your job, or get the workshop ready, and confirm availability fast, we know "urgent" means today, not next week.
03
Execution
We deliver safe, high-standard work, on-site or in our Mackay workshop, and keep you across progress the whole way.
Local to the Basin, based in Mackay, ready when you need us
Our workshop is in Paget, Mackay, right in the heart of the Bowen Basin, so we're never far from your site. From our Mackay base we reach mine sites right across the region: Moranbah, Dysart, Nebo, Blackwater, Emerald and beyond.
That local base means faster mobilisation for on-site maintenance and labour hire, and a fully equipped Mackay workshop for off-site repairs, refurbishments and fabrication when it's better to keep the job off your operation.
And we know the ground: the roads, the site inductions, the way each operation likes things done. Less mucking around, quicker starts. When you call, you'll talk to someone who knows the Basin and has worked it, not a call centre three states away.
