• Coordinate engineering resources and contractors to ensure work is completed safely and efficiently.

• Monitor maintenance performance and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.

• Assist with root cause investigations following breakdowns or recurring equipment failures.

• Promote safe working practices and ensure all maintenance activities comply with site procedures and legislation.

• Support the implementation of reliability and asset improvement initiatives across the plant.

What We're Looking For:

• Hands-on approach with the ability to build credibility on the plant floor.

• Experience planning and coordinating maintenance activities.

• Working knowledge of CMMS systems and maintenance management processes.

• Understanding of preventative and predictive maintenance principles.

• Strong organisational and problem-solving skills.

• Ability to communicate effectively with operators, engineers, contractors, and management teams.

• Experience supervising maintenance activities and coordinating multiple workstreams.

• Knowledge of conveyors, shredders, screens, trommels, hydraulic systems, pumps, gearboxes, bearings, and associated plant equipment would be advantageous.

• Be part of a fast-paced operational environment where your work has a direct impact on plant performance.

• Opportunity to influence maintenance strategy and reliability improvements.

• Work within a supportive engineering team committed to continuous improvement.

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
