Mining & Resources IT

Mining and resources
IT support.
From head office
to the site crew.

Whether your people are in the Brisbane office or out on swing, we keep their laptops, phones, email and security working, so a tech problem never holds up a crew or a contract.

Why Mining & Resources Businesses Need Specialist IT

In mining and resources, IT problems don't stay in the office.

A resources business often runs on a small head office and a lot of people in the field. Your crews are away for weeks at a time, their laptops are hours from the nearest IT help, and the major companies you contract to expect your security to hold up to the same scrutiny as theirs.

OutTask provides IT support for mining companies, mining services contractors and oil and gas businesses across Queensland. We already look after resources clients, including a coal company and an oil company, so we know a supervisor locked out of email on night shift, or a failed supplier security questionnaire, costs you far more than a slow computer.

People who are rarely in the office

FIFO and DIDO staff can go weeks without walking past an IT desk. Their devices still need updates, protection and help when something breaks.

Sites with unreliable internet

Remote sites and camps often run on satellite or mobile data. Email, files and phones need to work within those limits.

Clients who check your security

Major miners and principal contractors often ask suppliers to prove their cyber security before awarding or renewing work.

Our Mining & Resources IT Solutions

Managed IT services for mining
that work as hard as your crews do.

Managed Devices for FIFO & Remote Workers

Laptops and phones are set up, updated and secured remotely, so a device that has been on site for three weeks is as protected as one in the office. If one goes missing, we can lock it and wipe it.

Supplier Security & Compliance

We help you answer supplier security questionnaires, meet cyber insurance requirements and work towards Essential 8. It starts with an assessment that shows exactly where you stand.

Microsoft 365 for Office & Site Teams

Email, Teams and shared files organised so head office and site crews work from the same information, without spreadsheets flying back and forth.

Head Office & Site Connectivity

A reliable network at head office, and a setup that makes the most of whatever connection is available on site, so the important things still get through when the link is slow.

Contractor Onboarding & Offboarding

Contractors and labour hire staff come and go. New starters get their accounts and devices ready on day one, and access is removed properly the day someone finishes.

Business Phone Systems

Phone systems that ring a desk phone in Brisbane or an app on a mobile at camp, with one number your clients know.

businesses actually operate.

1

We already work in resources

We look after IT for Queensland resources businesses, so rosters, remote crews and client compliance don't need explaining.

2

Security that stands up to scrutiny

Our security services are built around Essential 8, so when a client asks how you protect their data, you have a proper answer.

Common Questions

Mining and resources IT questions,
answered.

Can you support staff who work FIFO or on remote sites?
+
Yes. We manage devices and accounts remotely, so your people get updates, security and help wherever they are, without the laptop needing to come back to Brisbane.
Do you come out to mine sites?
+
Our technicians work on site at offices across Brisbane and South East Queensland. People working at remote sites are supported remotely, and we set up their devices before they head out so they are ready to go.
A major miner has sent us a supplier security questionnaire. Can you help?
+
Yes. We'll go through it with you, tell you what you already meet, and fix the gaps so your answers are accurate. This is often the first thing mining services contractors ask us for.
Do you provide IT support for oil and gas businesses?
+
Yes. We already look after IT for a Queensland oil company, covering head office, field staff and security.
Do you support mine site control systems?
+
No. We look after your business IT: devices, email, networks, phones and security. Site control and operational systems stay with the operator or the specialists who run them.
Are you only for large resources companies?
+
No. Most of the businesses we work with have around 15 to 60 staff. That includes exploration companies, engineering and consulting firms, and mining services contractors.
How quickly do you respond?
+
Our average helpdesk response time is under one hour, and anything stopping someone from working is prioritised.
