- Smaller growing contractor | Genuine responsibility and long-term opportunity
Zenith Search is currently seeking an experienced Supervisor to join a growing pumps, dewatering and dredging contractor working across remote mine sites in Western Australia.
We are particularly interested in supervisors with previous dewatering, pumping or dredging experience, however we also encourage experienced mining and heavy industrial supervisors to apply if you have managed crews, site priorities and day-to-day operations in similar environments.
This is a hands-on leadership role with a smaller business where you will have genuine involvement in the operation and work closely with the operations manager and management team.
The Role
Working on an 8:6 FIFO roster from Perth, you will take responsibility for the crew and day-to-day site activities during your swing.
You will coordinate works, manage priorities, support crew performance and ensure site activities are completed safely and efficiently.
The role will involve:
- Supervising and coordinating site crews
- Managing daily work activities and priorities
- Monitoring crew performance and productivity
- Running pre-starts and toolbox meetings
- Ensuring safe work practices are followed
- Coordinating site requirements with the Superintendent
- Managing handovers between swings
- Supporting pumping, dewatering and dredging operations
- Liaising with site and client representatives
- Maintaining site standards and operational requirements
What We're Looking For
- Previous experience in a Supervisor position
- Current Section 26 / S26
- Experience supervising crews on mine sites
- Confidence managing day-to-day site operations
- Good leadership and people-management capability
- Ability to manage competing work priorities
- Mining or heavy industrial experience
- Safety-focused approach
- Reliable employment history
Highly Regarded
- Dewatering experience
- Mine water management experience
- Pumping systems experience
- Dredging experience
- Experience supervising mechanical or operational crews
- Experience working within smaller site teams
- Previous exposure to remote mining operations
If your background is primarily mining supervision rather than dewatering, we still encourage you to apply. Candidates with transferable experience managing crews, site operations and production requirements will be considered.
Pay Rates
- $80-$85/hr site rate
- $70-$75/hr local / town rate
- Local / town rate applies when completing town-based work
- S26 is mandatory for the Supervisor position
What's On Offer
- 8:6 FIFO roster from Perth
- Long-term prospect
- Smaller, growing contractor
- Direct involvement in site operations
- Work closely with the Superintendent and management team
- Opportunity to take ownership of your swing
- Career progression as the business grows
- Team-focused working environment
- Genuine responsibility rather than simply filling a rostered position
Why Apply?
This role will suit a Supervisor who enjoys being close to the operation and wants more involvement than you may get within a larger contractor.
You will work with a small team, have direct access to management and play an important part in how the operation performs as the business continues to grow.
