Our Story
PIT Mining IT brings decades of combined experience in enterprise IT, field support, and operational technology. Our team is known for working alongside clients, not just for them. We are problem solvers, engineers, and industry experts who deliver reliable technology solutions in the most challenging environments.
Jody Barlow, Managing Director Pit Mining IT
What started as a small field-service outfit in the Bowen Basin has evolved into a nationally recognised IT powerhouse. Today, PIT Mining IT brings together over 70 specialists across Australia, combining the grit and resilience of mine-site operations with the precision and sophistication of enterprise IT management.
From the start, we understood that technology isn't just about systems — it's about empowering the people and industries that keep Australia moving. That belief still drives us today.
Built around two specialised divisions—Mining and Enterprise, we deliver critical uptime, scalable solutions, and environments where people and performance thrive.
As industries evolve and security, compliance, and innovation pressures rise, so does our commitment:
To keep our clients online, protected, and future-ready — anywhere, anytime.
PIT Mining IT grew from Bowen Basin roots into a national IT leader, blending rugged mining fieldwork with enterprise-grade technology and compliance.
