We are currently seeking two Mechanical Maintenance Readiness Specialists / Engineers to join our client's high-performing team on a balanced 8:6 FIFO roster. This is a critical 6-month contract with solid 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 clear career development pathways. What We're Looking For Qualifications: Trade qualified (Cert III / IV Mechanical Engineering / Fitter & Turner) or tertiary qualified in Engineering (Mechanical, 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 mechanical equipment (e.g., conveyor networks, primary/secondary crushers, screening stations, feeders, chutes, or hoisting systems) is highly regarded. Continuous Improvement: Demonstrated ability to set up structured mechanical 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: Mechanical Strategy & Defect Elimination: Investigate repeat mechanical breakdowns, wear issues, and chronic reliability bottlenecks to deliver root-cause solutions from concept to close-out. Standards & Readiness: Audit day-to-day mechanical maintenance practices against company standards, identify operational gaps, and optimise mechanical maintenance strategies to prevent unplanned downtime. Master Data & Critical Spares: Lead initiatives to refine mechanical asset master data, ensure critical mechanical spares readiness (gearboxes, pulleys, bearings, crushers, screens, liners), and establish standard work instructions (SWIs). Equipment Health & Condition Monitoring: Implement structured mechanical asset health monitoring routines (vibration analysis, oil sampling, thermography, non-destructive testing), defect-elimination workflows, and reliability performance tracking. Technical Support: Provide hands-on mechanical engineering advice during commissioning, mechanical completion, ramp-up, and early operational phases. Stakeholder Collaboration: Align closely with operations, capital projects, engineering, and equipment OEMs to integrate maintenance requirements into daily routines.
