- Identify mechanical issues, monitor equipment wear and tear, and coordinate maintenance requirements.




- Work closely with machine operators and maintenance personnel to resolve operational issues.
- Monitor and report plant stoppages, downtime and operational performance.
- Ensure compliance with workplace health and safety procedures, PPE requirements and safe work practices.
- Maintain recycling quality standards and identify opportunities for operational improvement.

To be successful in this role, you will have:

- Proven experience supervising and managing teams within an industrial or operational environment.
- Strong people management skills, with the confidence to lead by example, address performance concerns and maintain accountability.
- Sound mechanical aptitude and practical knowledge of industrial plant machinery, maintenance and troubleshooting.
- Experience coordinating preventative maintenance and identifying potential equipment failures.
- A hands-on approach to leadership and willingness to work actively within a physically demanding environment.
- Strong communication, organisational and problem-solving skills.
- A proactive commitment to workplace safety, operational efficiency and continuous improvement.
- Current WA driver's licence.

Experience in waste management, recycling, quarrying, manufacturing or crushing and screening operations will be highly regarded.

What We Offer

- $44 – $48 per hour, dependent on experience, plus applicable penalties.
- Some weekend work will be required.
- Opportunity to take ownership of daily picking station operations and lead an established team.
- Supportive management team focused on safety, accountability and operational improvement.
