- Process plant operations, monitoring and troubleshooting

- Mobile plant operation, earthworks or civil works

- Site roads, dams, ponds, drainage or infrastructure maintenance

- Mining, mineral processing or other industrial environments

You will also demonstrate a strong commitment to safety, a practical and hands-on approach, reliability, and a willingness to learn and contribute across a small team.

A current driver’s licence is required. Relevant mobile plant competencies, an HR driver’s licence, mechanical aptitude, and experience operating multiple types of equipment will be highly regarded.
