About the Role

Ozland Mining Services is seeking a motivated, experienced and hands-on Maintenance Safety Trainer to join our Training & Development team.

This diverse position combines practical maintenance training, apprentice development and workplace safety improvement across our mining operations and workshops.

The role is predominantly site-based on an 8:6 FIFO roster, with occasional requirements to work from our Forrestdale Head Office, supporting the OzMech Maintenance team and undertaking apprentice management and development activities.

We're looking for someone who takes initiative, enjoys being out in the field and actively seeks opportunities to improve training, competency and safety standards.

This is not a desk-based training position. We want someone who actively engages with maintenance crews, identifies gaps, coaches personnel and works collaboratively with operational teams to deliver improvements.

- Deliver practical maintenance training, competency assessments and VOCs.
- Identify and address training, licensing and competency gaps.
- Develop and improve maintenance training resources and assessment materials.
- Support training permits, employee development and compliance requirements.

Apprentice Development (25%)

- Coordinate and monitor apprentice training and progression.
- Provide practical coaching, mentoring and technical guidance.
- Work with Supervisors and RTOs to support apprenticeship completion.
- Identify development opportunities and address competency gaps.

Maintenance Safety & Continuous Improvement (25%)

- Conduct maintenance safety inspections, audits, CCVs and field interactions.
- Develop and review maintenance SWIs, procedures and risk assessments.
- Support compliance with high-risk work and safe lifting requirements.
- Assist with incident investigations and corrective actions.
- Work with maintenance teams to improve safety and operational standards.

- Experience coaching, mentoring or supervising apprentices.
- Experience delivering practical training and competency assessments.
- Sound understanding of maintenance safety and high-risk work requirements.
- Strong communication, organisation and problem-solving skills.

Most importantly, you will be self-motivated, resourceful and proactive, with the ability to work independently, manage competing priorities and deliver outcomes without constant supervision.

Highly Regarded

- Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety or higher qualification.
- ICAM, TapRooT or other incident investigation training.
- Workplace safety auditing or ISO 45001 training.
- Additional High Risk Work Licences, including Rigging, Forklift or Cranes.

- Competitive remuneration based on qualifications, skills and experience.
- A diverse role combining technical training, apprentice development and safety.

- Support to obtain your Certificate IV in Training and Assessment if not already held.
- Opportunity to directly influence maintenance safety, competency and workforce development standards.
