Are you an experienced Quality Assurance or Test Automation Engineer who enjoys getting hands-on with technology and building quality into software from the outset?
Join a global mining OEM and technology leader developing sophisticated software solutions used across mining operations around the world.
You'll work alongside talented software engineers, product specialists and technical teams developing technology that processes large volumes of real‐time information from machines, sensors, onboard systems and control technologies.
This isn't a role focused simply on executing test cases.
You'll take ownership of quality throughout the software delivery lifecycle, combining test automation, exploratory testing, API testing and modern quality engineering practices to ensure complex software performs reliably in real‐world environments.
What You'll Be Doing
Taking end‐to‐end ownership of quality across user stories, from defining the test approach through to execution, evidence and sign‐off
Designing, developing and maintaining automated tests across UI, APIs and backend services
Building and improving reliable and maintainable automation frameworks
Testing REST APIs, including positive and negative scenarios, authentication, authorisation and role‐based access
Creating and maintaining test plans, test cases, reusable scenarios and test reporting
Planning and undertaking regression, acceptance and exploratory testing
Integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines and monitoring test execution
Troubleshooting failed and flaky tests and identifying underlying root causes
Supporting test environments and test data
Working closely with software engineers, Product Owners and technical stakeholders to identify quality risks early




Promoting shift‐left testing and embedding quality throughout the development lifecycle
Contributing to continuous improvement of QA standards, automation, processes and quality gates
Applying risk‐based testing approaches to ensure testing effort is focused where it delivers the greatest value
What We're Looking For
We're looking for experienced QA and Test Automation Engineers who bring a strong combination of quality engineering, software testing and automation.
4+ years' experience in Quality Assurance, Test Automation or a similar software testing role
Strong experience designing, developing and maintaining automated test suites
Hands‐on experience with Playwright, Selenium, Cypress or similar UI automation technologies
Experience testing REST APIs
Robust understanding of Agile software delivery, SDLC and shift‐left quality practices
Experience integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines
Strong troubleshooting and defect analysis skills
Experience across automated and manual testing, including exploratory, regression and acceptance testing
Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
The ability to work collaboratively with software engineers, product teams and other technical stakeholders
Technology Environment
Experience with some of the following would be highly regarded:
TypeScript / JavaScript
Java, C# or Python
Playwright
Cucumber / BDD
REST APIs
Git and GitHub
GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps or Jenkins
Microservices




Kubernetes and containerised platforms
AWS / cloud‐native environments
MQTT or event‐driven architectures
Performance testing tools such as k6, Gatling or JMeter
You don't need experience with every technology listed.
Strong automation fundamentals, engineering thinking and the ability to learn and adapt to different product environments are most important.
Highly Regarded
Previous experience within mining technology, industrial software, robotics, automation, heavy equipment or safety‐critical systems would be highly regarded.
Location & Eligibility
This position is based in the Brisbane CBD and requires attendance in the office five days per week.
It is not a hybrid or remote position.
Due to the onsite nature of the role, candidates currently residing within the Greater Brisbane area will be preferred.
To be considered, applicants must be:
Australian Citizens; or
New Zealand Citizens; or
Australian Permanent Residents
Applicants who do not meet one of the above eligibility requirements should not apply.
Why Join?
This is an opportunity to work with a global OEM and technology leader on complex, real‐world software rather than conventional business applications.
You'll work alongside highly experienced engineers on technology that connects software, machines, operational systems and large‐scale digital platforms.
The broader environment includes cloud‐native development, microservices, containerisation, real‐time data, automation, robotics and emerging AI capabilities.
If you're passionate about quality engineering, enjoy solving complex technical problems and want to work on technology making a tangible impact on mining operations around the world, we'd like to hear from you.
