I work in mineral processing so I always keep an eye on the job market and the interesting thing happening here is that almost all the other projects in wa that are commissioning soon like altura tawana westgold etc have all gone with a 2 and 1 roster and a fairly uncompetitive rare of pay. Dacian however have opted for the 8 and 6 roster with slightly better pay. Consequently they will have been able to pick from the very best and most experienced of the staff available for their start up and they will Also experience less turnover. I think this provides an interesting incite into the mentally of the management team. To me It shows they are smart enough to know that a stable and experienced work force is far more valuable than the few dollars they may save if they went with the 2 and 1 roster. "you pay peanuts you get monkeys " is the expression that comes to mind here. And monkey business is the last thing you need when your commissioning a mineral processing plant.
