CA Mobility is the dedicated talent mobility division of CA Mining, specialising exclusively in the global mining, engineering and energy sectors. Unlike a generalist recruitment or immigration firm, CA Mobility combines 19+ years of mining recruitment expertise with solid licensed immigration partnerships to deliver an end-to-end service — from candidate sourcing and skills assessments through to visa lodgement and relocation. This means employers and candidates deal with one partner across the entire immigration lifecycle.

CA Mobility works alongside registered immigration partners to support a range of Australian work visa pathways commonly used in the mining and resources sector, including the Skills in Demand Visa (Subclass 482), the Employer Nomination Scheme (Subclass 186), and the Skilled Employer-Sponsored Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 494). The appropriate pathway is determined by the candidate's occupation, experience and the sponsoring employer's requirements.

CA Mobility proactively builds and maintains a pipeline of pre-screened, mobility-ready professionals in disciplines most critically affected by global mining skill shortages — including geotechnical engineers, metallurgists, underground specialists, HSE professionals and project managers. Candidates in the pool have already undergone competency assessments, reference verification, and immigration eligibility checks, enabling Australian employers to fast-track placements without the delays typical of reactive recruitment.

Every placement made through CA Mobility is backed by a six-month replacement guarantee. If a placed candidate leaves the role or does not perform as expected within the first six months, CA Mobility will source and place a suitable replacement at no additional cost. This guarantee is underpinned by our rigorous pre-screening process, which includes structured competency assessments, reference verification and comprehensive candidate risk profiling.

Yes. CA Mobility works directly with Australian mining employers to manage the full sponsorship and visa process. This includes advising on visa eligibility and pathways, conducting skills assessments and occupational mapping, preparing and lodging visa applications and ensuring all employer obligations under Australian immigration law are met throughout the process.

Timelines vary depending on the visa type, the candidate's country of origin and the complexity of their occupation assessment. For candidates already in CA Mobility's Skill Shortage Talent Pool — who have been pre-screened and have documentation in order — mobilisation timelines are significantly faster than standard recruitment. We provide tailored deployment timelines, compliance requirements and cost projections as part of our initial engagement with employers.

CA Mobility supports the full relocation journey, which includes family visa coordination for eligible dependants. We also provide pre-departure orientation, settlement support, and post-arrival check-ins to help candidates and their families adjust to life in a new country. Our goal is that the people we place feel supported beyond just the paperwork.

CA Mobility covers the full breadth of mining and resources disciplines — from engineering and operations through to trades and technical specialists. Core focus areas include mining, civil, and electrical engineers; earthmoving plant operators; mine surveyors; electricians; welders; metal fabricators; and project managers, with expertise spanning well beyond this list. Get in touch and let's find the right people for your team.

The process begins with a consultation with a CA Mobility specialist, who will assess your workforce requirements, identify the most appropriate visa pathways and outline a tailored deployment strategy — including timelines, compliance requirements, and cost projections. There is no obligation at this stage. Contact us via the CA Mobility enquiry form or reach out directly to info@camining.com to get started.
