Electricians play a vital role in maintaining the efficiency of equipment. As an auto electrician, you will be responsible for executing planned and reactive maintenance tasks on mining equipment to ensure it operates reliably and efficiently across breakdown and workshop jobs.
You will work with various machines such as Sandvik loaders, development drills, production drills, Atlas Copco compressors, generators, and pumps. Your routine repairs and servicing will take place in both workshop and field environments while maintaining health, safety, and regulatory compliance standards.
Your ability to identify potential risks throughout the operation is crucial, and you must be able to share technical knowledge and best practices with your team members.
The ideal candidate will have a nationally accredited Automotive Electrical Trade Certificate, a C-class driver's license, and an Automotive Cert II Air Conditioning license with regulatory knowledge. Experience with OEM diagnostic tools, fault-finding, and adjusting parameters is also essential.
Auto electrical schematics, diagnosing air-conditioning faults, and conducting system repairs are skills you must possess. You should be capable of performing planned maintenance, breakdown repairs on underground and heavy surface equipment, and working with automation and autonomous machinery.
Strong risk assessment skills and computer proficiency in CMMS, MS Word, Excel, and email are required. Experience with Normet, Sandvik, CAT, and Epiroc machinery is highly desirable. The successful candidate will be a strong communicator, decision-maker, and team player who thrives in high-performing environments.
