About You
You will bring approximately four or more years' experience, ideally including site‐based operational exposure within mining, energy, or heavy industrial environments. Your background may be in mining or minerals processing, mechanical or electrical engineering, maintenance, reliability, asset management, commissioning, or project delivery. Exposure to plant operations, shutdowns, or capital projects will be highly regarded. You have a demonstrated interest in operational readiness, commissioning, or asset lifecycle delivery and hold a relevant degree or equivalent qualification. You are organised, proactive, and able to work effectively across multidisciplinary teams in fast‐paced environments. Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills are essential, with familiarity in asset lifecycle practices and CMMS/EAM systems (such as SAP or Maximo) viewed favourably.
