We’re looking for an experienced Mechanical Equipment Specialist to join our Coke Plant 2 Asset Team.

This is a hands-on technical role where you’ll combine your mechanical trade expertise with your ability to identify issues, solve problems and find better ways to maintain and extend the life of critical equipment.

You’ll work closely with the broader maintenance team, providing technical guidance, supporting work execution and using your knowledge of equipment condition and maintenance history to help us make better decisions.

What's on offer?

- Work alongside experienced trades and maintenance professionals in a collaborative team environment.
- Play an important role maintaining critical equipment at one of Australia’s major industrial sites.
- Enjoy the stability and professional development opportunities that come with working for one of ANZs leading infrastructure services businesses.

What you'll be doing

No two days will look exactly the same. You’ll be involved in:

- Providing mechanical technical guidance and support to the team.
- Monitoring equipment condition and identifying potential issues before they become problems.
- Developing maintenance scopes, plans and work orders for routine, shutdown and breakdown activities.
- Supporting Asset Improvement Coordinators with day-to-day maintenance activities.




- Creating and managing work orders through SAP.
- Maintaining accurate equipment and maintenance history and ensuring critical spares are available and fit for purpose.
- Contributing to maintenance strategy and identifying opportunities to improve equipment reliability and performance.
- Participating in root cause analysis and other improvement activities.
- Supporting isolation coordination when required.
- Working alongside multi-disciplinary teams and getting hands-on when the job requires it.

Most importantly, you’ll bring a curious and practical mindset, looking beyond the immediate fix to understand how we can improve reliability, extend equipment life and do things better.
