Key responsibilities

- Maintain and repair fixed plant and processing equipment across NTRS operations, including the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF), oily water treatment plant and C&D; processing equipment.
- Undertake hands-on mechanical maintenance, fault finding, breakdown repairs and scheduled servicing.
- Plan, coordinate and schedule preventative maintenance activities to improve plant reliability and minimise downtime.
- Manage the preventative maintenance system, ensuring servicing, inspections, repairs and upcoming maintenance requirements are accurately scheduled and recorded.
- Coordinate specialist contractors and service providers, including arranging site access, scheduling works and monitoring completion.
- Maintain accurate maintenance records, service histories and equipment documentation for major plant and equipment.
- Identify recurring equipment faults and recommend repairs, upgrades and preventative actions.
- Work closely with operational teams to schedule maintenance around production and processing requirements.
- Assist with spare parts, servicing requirements and forward maintenance planning.
- Help develop and implement a more structured and proactive maintenance program as NTRS continues to expand its processing capability.





About you We’re looking for someone who enjoys being hands-on but also has the organisation and initiative to take ownership of the maintenance planning function.

Ideally, you will have:

- A relevant mechanical trade qualification such as Mechanical Fitter, Fitter & Turner, Diesel Mechanic or similar.
- Demonstrated experience maintaining and repairing mechanical plant and equipment.
- Strong mechanical fault-finding and problem-solving skills.

- Experience using CMMS or preventative maintenance software for scheduling, tracking and record keeping.
- Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage competing maintenance priorities.
- The ability to coordinate contractors and external service providers.
- A practical approach to safety, plant reliability and continuous improvement.
- The ability to work collaboratively with operational teams in a busy industrial environment.
- Experience with fixed plant, recycling, waste processing, crushing and screening equipment, conveyors, pumps or industrial processing equipment will be highly regarded.
