This Mechanical Supervisor role puts you right in the middle of a busy processing plant, where your ability to stay level-headed and keep a crew moving makes a real difference day to day.
You'll be leading a mechanical team across the plant — from crushers, conveyors, ball/sag mills and pumps — making sure work is done properly, safely and without unnecessary drama.
The expectation isn't that you sit back and delegate.
You'll be across what's happening, supporting your team, solving problems as they come up, and keeping things moving when priorities shift.
You'll have a decent mix of structure and autonomy — clear direction from the Superintendent, but trust in how you run your crew and manage the day.
This tends to suit someone who:
Likes being hands-on rather than removed from the work
Can juggle a few things at once without losing their cool
Knows how to get the best out of a team without needing to push it
The operation itself is well-established, with a steady workflow and a explicit expectation around safety, reliability and teamwork.




You'll be working across a full fixed plant setup, so it suits someone who enjoys variety and understands how different areas of the plant link together.
To step into it, you'll need:
A mechanical trade background
Solid fixed plant experience within a gold processing environment
Previous exposure to supervising, or stepping up into that space
Confidence across crushing, milling, conveyors and slurry systems
26 Supervisor qualification
The ability to fault find properly and make practical calls on the ground
A steady approach with people — someone the crew respects and listens to.
