About the Opportunity

Shape Electrical Asset Reliability on a Major 7.5Mtpa Expansion

Are you a proactive Electrical Maintenance Specialist or Reliability Engineer looking to leave your mark on a tier-one ramp-up project?

We are currently seeking one Electrical Maintenance Readiness Specialist / Engineer to join our client's high-performing team on a balanced 8:6 FIFO roster.

This is a critical 6-month contract with strong potential for extension as the project transitions through commissioning and materials handling system (MHS) ramp-up into sustained, long-term operations.

What's On Offer

Work-Life Balance: Highly desirable 8:6 FIFO roster.

Project Exposure: Strategic involvement in a high-profile 7.5Mtpa expansion with genuine long-term prospects.

Supportive Culture: Join an industry leader committed to site safety, structured mentoring, and transparent career development pathways.

What We're Looking For

Qualifications: Trade qualified (Cert III / IV Electrotechnology / Electrical, with WA Electrical Licence or recognised equivalent) or tertiary qualified in Engineering (Electrical, Mechatronics, Reliability, or similar).

Industry Experience: Proven background across mining, bulk materials handling, mineral processing, or heavy industrial fixed plant.

Fixed Plant Knowledge: Prior hands-on familiarity with fixed plant electrical infrastructure (e.g., MV/LV switchrooms, transformers, VFDs/variable speed drives, conveyor drives, primary/secondary crushing stations, screening, or hoisting systems) is highly regarded.

Continuous Improvement: Demonstrated ability to set up structured electrical maintenance strategies, improve equipment reliability,



and clean master data in CMMS (SAP / Pronto or similar).

Key Responsibilities You will bridge the gap between capital delivery and operational excellence.

Core duties include

Electrical Strategy &

- Defect Elimination: Investigate repeat electrical breakdowns, trip issues, and chronic reliability problems to deliver root-cause solutions from concept to close-out.

Standards &

- Readiness: Audit day-to-day electrical maintenance practices against statutory standards and company guidelines, identify operational gaps, and optimise electrical maintenance strategies to prevent unplanned downtime.

Master Data &

- Critical Spares: Lead initiatives to refine electrical asset master data, ensure long-lead electrical spare parts inventory readiness (motors, drives, switchgear, instrumentation), and establish standard work instructions (SWIs).

Equipment Health &

- Condition Monitoring: Implement structured electrical asset health monitoring routines (thermography, insulation testing, vibration monitoring on motor drives), defect-elimination workflows, and reliability performance tracking.

Technical Support: Provide hands-on electrical engineering advice during commissioning, energisation, ramp-up, and early operational phases.

Stakeholder Collaboration: Align closely with operations, capital projects, engineering, and electrical OEMs to integrate maintenance requirements into daily routines.
