• Support conveyor health initiatives including belt condition monitoring, inspection regimes, and conveyor health systems Ensure compliance with applicable conveyor belt and system standards (AS, DIN, ISO) and client engineering\ requirements
• Support and review belt installations, belt change-outs, and critical maintenance activities on site
• Interface with client maintenance, reliability, engineering, and operations teams to provide practical, risk-based technical advice
• Contribute to the development and improvement of conveyor belt standards, technical documentation, and governance frameworks
• Liaise with BOTON internal engineering, manufacturing, and service teams to coordinate technical support and product optimisation
• Provide technical input into incident reports, performance reviews, and reliability improvement initiatives
ABOUT YOU
You are a highly experienced conveyor belt systems specialist with strong technical credibility in Tier-1 mining environments.
