Learn about what motivates the TRG Team in this month’s Meet The TRG Team with Mo Zainudin
At TRG, we’re proud to have a team of dedicated professionals who bring diverse experience and fresh perspectives to the industry. In this staff spotlight, we catch up with Mo Zainudin, a valued member of our team based at Roy Hill.
Mo’s journey into the OTR tyre industry was influenced by both family and curiosity. After working in employment services, he discovered the opportunities in mining and made the switch—bringing with him a strong work ethic and a passion for learning.
With three years of experience working on tyres from LVs to 63-inch giants, Mo has already built a solid foundation in the field. Now, he’s keen to expand his knowledge, particularly in tyre logistics and cost management. We spoke with Mo about his background, what drives him, and his goals for the future at TRG.

I work on a large crew on-site and I’d like to learn more from my experienced teammates, they have 10+ years of experience and can guide me and teach me more about the industry. The different work styles help us be more efficient, whilst still following the procedures.
