About the Role

Nitro Sibir is seeking a hands-on IT and Automation professional to support the business across software development, industrial control programming, electronics/instrumentation, and to help shape our approach to applied AI. This is a broad, cross-functional role suited to someone comfortable moving between writing code, troubleshooting a control panel on site, and advising leadership on where technology can add value — spanning production, engineering and capital projects.

Key Responsibilities

Application Development

- Design, build, and maintain internal business applications and tools (web, desktop, or mobile) that support operations, project tracking, and reporting

- Maintain and improve existing spreadsheets, dashboards, and databases used across project and operations teams

- Integrate systems and data sources to reduce manual data entry and improve reporting accuracy

Microprocessor / Microcontroller (MPU/MCU) Programming

- Develop, program, and troubleshoot PLC, HMI, and microcontroller-based control systems (e.g. Allen Bradley, or equivalent platforms in use on site)

- Support commissioning of current equipment (tanks, pumps, agitators, valves, conveyors) requiring control logic, I/O configuration, and HMI screens

- Maintain documentation for control system architecture, I/O lists, and program revisions

Business AI Direction

- Identify practical opportunities to apply AI/automation tools across operations, maintenance, procurement, and reporting workflows

- Evaluate and recommend AI-enabled tools and platforms, balancing cost, capability, and data security

- Act as an internal point of contact for AI-related questions, pilots, and rollouts, working with leadership to set direction and priorities

Electrical/Electronic & Project Support





- Provide electronic and instrumentation support across capital and maintenance projects (motor drives, VSDs, sensors, flow meters, level switches, and similar field instrumentation)

- Support installation, testing, and commissioning activities alongside external contractors and engineering firms.

- Troubleshoot electronic faults across production and site infrastructure, minimizing downtime.

- Liaise with external suppliers, engineers, and contractors (e.g. control system integrators, equipment manufacturers) on technical specifications and issues

What You'll Bring

- Trade, diploma, or degree qualification in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Automation, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent demonstrated experience)

- Practical experience programming PLCs/HMIs and/or microcontrollers in an industrial environment

- Experience developing software applications or tools (any modern stack — please detail your experience)

- Familiarity with, or strong interest in, applying AI tools to real business problems

- Strong electrical/electronic fault-finding skills

- Ability to work independently, manage multiple concurrent projects, and communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

- Current driver's licence; willingness to travel between sites

- Australian Police Clearance

Nice to Have

- Experience in mining,



chemical manufacturing, or explosives/emulsion production environments

- Exposure to SCADA systems, industrial networking, or instrumentation from major suppliers (e.g. Endress+Hauser, IFM, SMC, Festo)

- Experience with data analysis, reporting tools, or low-code platforms
