He began his operations in January 1990 with the purchase of an old AACO International Water Truck which he bought from a local contractor. For the next nine years, Jim worked at three mine sites; White Devil, Warrego and Gecko mines in the Tennant Creek area until they commenced their closure strategies in 1999.Following the closure of the mines Jim purchased a 30T excavator and began providing earthmoving services across the Territory. He was approached by the local Power and Water authorities to excavate the main sewerage line crossing Peko road in Tennant Creek. As a part of this job he procured a tip truck and a loader, in addition to a CAT 140G Grader shortly afterwards.From our humble origins, Phillips Earthmoving has continued to grow over the years and today employs 45 staff and operates over 150 in combined heavy equipment, trucks and vehicles.
