Downer's Mining Division has a strong presence in Western Australia, with contracts in open-cut mining covering gold and iron ore, material crushing and processing, fleet maintenance, blasting services and tyre management. The Christmas Creek contract is one of the largest mining services contracts of its type in Australia, generating more than 650 jobs and reinforcing Downer's position as a leading provider of mining, engineering and infrastructure services to the Australasian market. Downer has set a target of 20% Indigenous employment across the project. To achieve this, "Teaming Agreements" have been put in place with four leading Indigenous-owned companies familiar with working in the Pilbara region of Western Australia for the supply of equipment and people.
