📅 Your first 90 days at Ridgeline

Goal: by day 90 you can work safely and independently in your role, you know your crew, and you have a development plan.

The plan

When	Focus	What good looks like
Before day 1	Paperwork and travel	Contract signed, medical booked, flights confirmed, bank details in the HR portal
Day 1 to 3	Site induction	Induction passed, access card issued, PPE fitted, camp room allocated
Week 1	Buddy shifts	Working alongside an experienced buddy; you know your crew, radio channels and emergency points
Day 30	Check-in 1	Supervisor reviews your progress, tickets and any worries; goals agreed
Day 60	Competency sign-off	Assessed on your core tasks; gaps get a training plan
Day 90	Probation review	Formal review with your supervisor and HR; confirmation of employment

Your buddy

Every new starter gets a buddy: an experienced colleague in the same crew who shows you the ropes, answers the small questions and keeps an eye on you in the first shifts. Your buddy does not replace your supervisor. They are your first call when you are unsure.

Questions your supervisor will ask at day 30

Do you feel safe and trained for what you are doing?
Is the roster and camp life working for you and your family?
What is one thing we could do better for new starters?
