Location: Brendale, QLD (On-site, Free Parking)

The Perks: 5 Weeks Annual Leave, Monday-Friday Schedule, Mission-Driven Sector The Opportunity

Are you an experienced maintenance professional tired of pure reactive firefighting? Are you looking to step into a role where you can hold a strategic "helicopter view" while making a tangible impact on Australia's transition to renewable energy?

We are seeking a Reliability & Planning Lead for our Brendale facility. This is not just a scheduling job; it’s a cohesive operational leadership role bridging maintenance logistics and long-term engineering strategy. You will own our site's maintenance systems, direct critical trades, and lead defect elimination programs to optimise our plant's performance.

Why Us?

We believe that investing in our people is the best way to ensure operational excellence. When you join us, you’ll find:

- A "No-Blame" Culture: We operate as a lean, team-oriented team focused on collective learning, continuous improvement, and trust.
- Unmatched Work-Life Balance: Enjoy 5 weeks of annual leave, a predictable Monday-to-Friday schedule (with manageable on-call duties), and a fantastic commute to Brendale from Brisbane’s northern suburbs with free on-site parking.
- Meaningful Impact: See the direct results of your work every day in a facility accelerating the renewable energy future.

What You’ll Do

You will ensure the day-to-day operations of the facility run smoothly, moving us away from high-pressure reactive situations through meticulous planning. Key focus areas include:

- Systems & Planning:



Act as the MEX CMMS "super-user" and owner. You'll autonomously plan work tasks, manage contractor/personnel schedules, align data industry standards like ISO 14224, and lead comprehensive shutdown planning and execution.
- Reliability & Continuous Improvement: Lead RCM-based PM optimisation and defect elimination programs targeting "bad actors."
- Technical & Compliance: Leverage your strong understanding of electrical systems to ensure compliance with QLD WHS legislation, AS3000, PTW, and LOTO requirements through job planning and engagement with the execution team.

Who You Are

- The Planner: You are methodical and proactive. You solve problems before they happen.
- The Influencer: You can coordinate and gain the support of operational teams and external partners through strong communication, rather than relying on formal authority.
- The Expert: You possess a solid understanding of complex electrical systems and industrial maintenance. You have strong experience with a major CMMS (ideally MEX) and can act as a system super-user.
- The Safety Champion: You have a thorough knowledge of QLD WHS legislation, PTW, and LOTO requirements.

Bonus points if you have: An electrical background (formal or informal), reliability engineering experience, or knowledge of standards like AS/NZS 3000, AS 2067, SAE JA1011, and ISO 55000.
