Field Assistant

2026 has started strong, with a busy pipeline of exploration and production programs ahead. If you’re an experienced Field Assistant who prefers lining up quality contract work early, now’s a smart time to register your interest with MPI.

We’re seeing continued demand for experienced Field Assistants across upcoming exploration and production campaigns. Registering your interest means you’ll be first in line when Field Assistant roles become available, often before they’re advertised. We work closely with our clients to match reliable, site-ready people to programs that suit their experience, availability, and preferred work style.

This Expression of Interest is aimed at Field Assistants who already have site experience and are comfortable with contract and FIFO work. Whether your background is in drilling support, sampling, production operations, or general field work, we want to know you’re available and ready to go.

MPI supports a broad range of established and emerging operators across Australia. Contractors stay connected with us because we’re organised, transparent, and proactive, keeping you informed and reaching out as soon as suitable work comes up.

This EOI suits Field Assistants who want to keep using their skills, maintain continuity across projects, and avoid constantly reapplying for roles. You’ll be supported by recruiters who understand field-based work and prioritise safety, clear communication, and realistic site expectations.

To be considered for upcoming Field Assistant contract roles, you will typically require:
  • Previous Field Assistant experience in exploration and or production
  • Current manual Australian driver’s licence (mandatory)
  • National police clearance issued within the last 6 months
  • Ability to pass a pre-employment medical and drug and alcohol screen
  • LF (Forklift) ticket highly desirable
  • Strong safety awareness and ability to work in remote site environments.

This is an Expression of Interest only, not an active vacancy. If you’re interested in upcoming Field Assistant contract opportunities, apply now or update your CV so we can contact you as new roles become available.

Unfortunately, MPI Recruitment are only able to consider candidates with appropriate and relevant experience who are Australian Permanent Residents or who hold valid Australian working rights.
