My hubby is done with the FIFO life! He's a breakdown fitter who loves working on underground mine gear (it's his passion), but being constantly stuck on site is seriously impacting his life right now. He's missed home way too much and it's putting a strain on us.
He's trying to find a Texas based workshop job where he can still wrench on those big underground machines, but he's having trouble tracking down the right places to apply.

Does anyone know of any major Texas workshops, repair centers, or mining supply dealers that specialize in rebuilding or servicing underground equipment (like loaders, haulers, etc.)?
 
Take a look at L&H Industrial, a company that focuses on rebuilding and servicing underground equipment. Then there's ASCO Equipment, which provides a full range of repair services for heavy mining machinery right there in Texas.
 
Be sure to check with leading OEM dealerships such as Joy Global (Komatsu Mining), Sandvik, and Caterpillar, they usually have service centers in Texas that focus on component rebuilds. Mining equipment rental companies like United Rentals or Battlefield Equipment are also in need of skilled breakdown fitters for their workshops

A quick search on LinkedIn and Indeed with the phrase "underground mining equipment technician" will reveal even more job prospects
