About Us

Prime Mining is an Australian based consultancy that specialises in supplying the mining industry with high calibre professionals.
With clients across Aus and Internationally, we take pride in our team of some of the industry’s best mining professionals.

From our humble origins of a small band of mining professionals in 2011, we’ve ensured a proven track record of supporting our team and our clients, enabling us to have grown into one of Australia’s leading technical consultancies.

With clients including all the large and medium mining companies in the country, as well as strategic partnerships with multiple leading mining companies, we strive to maintain our reputation of quality people and industry leading remuneration options, whilst supporting each of our team members’ individual goals.

Further to this, we also offer our team a unique range of remuneration options, working with you to maximise value for your situation and setup, including offering assistance with ABN Company options, allowing for the benefits that come with it.

The Role

We are looking for a Mechanical SME in Asset Management and Maintenance Strategy to support our Tier 1 client’s major growth projects. The role is based in Brisbane on a 5/2 roster, Monday to Friday in the office.

You work with the site based asset management managers as large projects come into operation. You identify which equipment is business critical, run the criticality rating and risk assessment workshops, and turn the results into clear maintenance regimes. The scope covers mobile fleet and fixed plant, including slurry pumps.

You also look at the wider impact each project has on the business. That means work management and scheduling, shutdown strategy, materials and warehousing, and the contractors needed for maintenance and shutdowns. You manage subcontracted work and present your findings to senior stakeholders.



Your job is to make sure the strategy holds up once it reaches site.

This role suits someone with deep technical knowledge who can also run a room and bring people with them. A superintendent or maintenance manager looking to move off site and into the city would fit well.

Occasional site visits may be required, and all flights, travel time and accommodation are covered.

To be considered you must meet the following criteria:

- A tertiary qualification in Mechanical Engineering, or a trade background with solid progression into maintenance strategy and reliability.
- Located in Brisbane, or willing to relocate.
- Previous practical experience in mining in Australia across both mobile equipment and fixed plant.
- Proven experience developing asset maintenance strategies and regimes for business critical equipment.
- Strong working knowledge of work management, materials management, shutdown management and contractor management.
- Experience running criticality and risk assessment workshops with site teams.
- Advanced use of computerised maintenance management systems (for example SAP).
- Polished presentation skills and the ability to engage and influence senior stakeholders.
- Commissioning experience or oil and gas exposure will be highly regarded.
- Current Australian drivers licence and full working rights in Australia.

FAQs:

How can you pay so much?

A company philosophy for the most effective and lowest overheads (no staff, offices or inefficient processes) and a mission to pay top dollar to get top talent, which in turn continues to build our brand.

Will I be out of pocket?

Not at all. We cover flights, accommodation, meals, along with uniforms, medicals and anything else the role requires. We also factor nominal time off into the package so the figure you see is genuinely comparable to a staff salary.

Can I speak to someone who already works for you?

Yes! We have close to 100 people across the country and there is a good chance you have already worked alongside one of them on site. Have a look at the team on LinkedIn, and feel free to reach out to them, or us directly for a chat

Do you hire international people?

Unfortunately no. We don’t have capacity to hire internationally, with the exception of New Zealanders who wish to FIFO for certain roles. If you are already working on a mine in Australia under a visa, such as a 482, we can take over that visa sponsorship. We are unable to sponsor you from overseas at this stage.

If keen “Apply Now” with a resume (no need for cover letter).
