Joining Moderna means advancing mRNA science to transform medicine. Work with exceptional global teams on a broad pipeline and build a career that makes a real difference for patients. Moderna is strengthening Australia’s biotech landscape through a long term partnership focused on pandemic resilience. Our Melbourne based mRNA vaccine manufacturing facility will support rapid response to future health threats while creating skilled jobs and developing local talent. We welcome professionals ready to help advance global health security. Based on-site at Moderna’s GMP manufacturing facility in Melbourne, Australia, and reporting to the Plant Engineering Manager, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring the electrical integrity, reliability and operational readiness of our advanced manufacturing and support systems. As a hands‑on electrical specialist and individual contributor, you will lead technical troubleshooting, coordinate electrical maintenance and engineering activities, and drive reliability improvements across GMP and non‑GMP equipment. Combining deep expertise in industrial automation, electrical distribution and regulatory compliance with a proactive approach to problem‑solving, you will help maintain safe, compliant and efficient 24/7 manufacturing operations while contributing to the continuous evolution of our electrical infrastructure and digital capabilities.

Here’s What You’ll Do:

- Take ownership of electrical maintenance and operational reliability: Execute, supervise and coordinate routine and non‑routine electrical maintenance activities across GMP and non‑GMP manufacturing and support equipment. Work closely with end‑user groups to plan, prioritise and manage electrical work orders through the Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS),



ensuring effective scheduling, execution, tracking and completion.
- Lead complex electrical troubleshooting and equipment recovery: Act as the first responder to electrical equipment failures, taking ownership of issues through to resolution by performing hands‑on repairs or directing specialist service providers. Apply your technical expertise to investigate electrical and automation‑related faults, develop remediation plans and coordinate follow‑up or emergency work to restore equipment functionality and minimise manufacturing disruption.
- Be the electrical subject matter expert for our manufacturing operations: Provide technical leadership and specialist guidance on electrical supply and distribution systems, sensors, instrumentation, pneumatic systems, motor drives and associated equipment used in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Support the investigation and resolution of technical deviations, corrective actions and other equipment‑related issues, ensuring that solutions are robust, compliant and sustainable.
- Apply advanced automation and control systems expertise: Support the reliability and troubleshooting of sophisticated industrial automation technologies, including Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Human‑Machine Interfaces (HMIs), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, Variable Speed Drives (VSDs), servo drives and process instrumentation.



Collaborate with engineering and manufacturing teams to diagnose interconnected electrical and control system issues and implement effective technical solutions.
- Support the introduction of new equipment and technologies: Coordinate the specification, fabrication, procurement, installation, engineering start‑up and validation of new electrical equipment and systems. Work with engineering, equipment suppliers and cross‑functional stakeholders to ensure new installations meet operational requirements, approved technical specifications, safety expectations and applicable GMP standards.
- Drive electrical reliability engineering and continuous improvement: Participate in the development and execution of reliability‑centred electrical maintenance programmes for assets within your area of responsibility. Identify opportunities to improve electrical maintenance tasks and strategies, develop electrical budget recommendations, assess critical spare parts requirements and contribute to the establishment and monitoring of quality and performance metrics.
- Strengthen electrical standards and safe working practices: Develop, revise and maintain electrical procedures, secure work methods and approved engineering practices. Support the development, supervision and ongoing management of site Electrical Standards, ensuring their technical accuracy, consistent application and continued compliance with applicable regulatory, engineering and safety requirements.
- Lead structured investigations and corrective actions: Apply systematic problem‑solving methodologies to investigate complex electrical and equipment failures, identify true root causes and determine effective paths to resolution. Develop and support the implementation of c
