KEE Surfacing, our largest division, is known for its superior spray seal, profiling, and asphalt crews, and has built the reputation as the industry’s best in WA. We are now seeking an experienced, hands-on Asphalt Plant Maintenance Lead to support the reliability, mobilisation and operation of our mobile asphalt production fleet. This is a hybrid field-based role working between our Welshpool yard and regional project sites, with travel determined by operational requirements rather than a fixed roster.

- Coordinate maintenance activities, including work priorities, labour, tooling, and parts requirements.
- Maintain accurate inspection, maintenance, and repair records.
- Monitor critical spare parts and arrange replenishment as required.
- Operate asphalt plants and associated mobile equipment safely and efficiently.
- Promote and maintain safe work practices,



including housekeeping, isolation, and permit systems.

Essential Skills and Experience:

- HR Driver Licence (minimum)
- Previous asphalt plant operation or maintenance experience (essential)
- Availability for ad hoc weekend work and work away
- Experience operating heavy equipment (essential) (loaders, telehandlers, EWP...)
- A strong ‘team player’ with the proven positive attitude to work well with others

Benefits:

- Full-time position – minimum 80 hours per fortnight with available overtime
- Excellent remuneration (plus penalties and travel allowance) & Fortnightly pay
- Excellent working conditions with a new purpose-built depot coming in November 2026

- Working in a highly supportive and team-oriented company with a strong commitment to on-going training and maintaining a zero-harm environment for all our employees, visitors, and clients.
