Im guessing im not telling anyone anything they dont already know but I thought I would share this link anyway https://www.scotgoldresources.com/about-us/recruitment/
There are around 10 jobs in total up for grabs. Would be tempted myself if I was 20 years younger but my point is, surely there is some gold to be had and its not all a case of Scotch Mist or another Loch Ness, although it does seem a little late in the day to advertise for all these workers ?
£24k per annum for a 45 hour week underground basic.You pay peanuts you get monkeys.They will not get experienced miners for that money.
£10.30p per hour.A wee mate of mine in the boolin' club gets £9.50p per hour for delivering pizzas for Dominoes and he gets about £20 a night in tips.
GZ, those ads for vacancies have been up quite some time, but the extension of closing dates probably tells a tale of not enough or suitable applicants soon enough.
Regards, R.
They probably forgot to take them off the site. Same as them forgetting to update it.:-)
i know 2 people in last 2 months that have jacked in their job a t the mine due, both said they hated it.
the problem is staff will need to really stay on site cause none fancies the commute. none real fancies staying there with not a shop or anything either. they need to build teams not hire workers. pay them right with bomuses, provide them onsite accomodation in rotas. and if they cant do this and make a profit then the project is doomed. people that do real jobs in trades etc dont work for nothing anymore, the tables have turned in the jobs market and blue coller now is more in demand and pays more.
No offence to any locals, but SGZ will seriously struggle to get staff on those wages where they are located. For most people it's the middle of nowhere. Lovely if you are wealthy or just visiting for a short time, but not long term scraping a living. Where on earth do they even live on that money? They would have to build digs like an army camp and bring in desperate foreign workers.
Does not having staff come under the category of teething troubles?
Still no word on the shipment by the end of the second week of May.....was it loaded onto an HGV or was a solitary carrier pigeon enough to carry it off to the refinery, assuming it happened at all?
Come on, Scotgold! Silence in our case is not golden.
As a many times self-confessed amateur on here, who always respects the opinions of you industry professionals, I have to say that the level of salary of which you are critical is indeed rather eyebrow-raising. I was earning that sort of money 30 or 40 years ago, in jobs which didn't really entail a wealth of experience and certainly not physically hard work and even the potential for danger. This all leads me to have another big question mark over our previous management. I thought they were supposed to be industry professionals of an almost world-class standard. Surely they should have been au fait with the rewards necessary to attract good quality staff? Or so you would have thought.
' I thought they were supposed to be industry professionals of an almost world-class standard. '' yayay,L hope they have been professional with the mine plan.The ramps up to the ore body are not for inexperienced workmen doing their first stint.If they have made and a**e of that then it will not be a minor (miner) setback.
As I said on Friday, there's always:

Zzzzz, R.
This one is very apt for us, too:
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
Surely it's not possible to hex SGZ by quoting from "The Scottish Play".....gulp
