About Us

Stanbroke is a reputable family-owned and operated Australian cattle and beef business. Our operations span across Northern Queensland with extensive cattle properties, backgrounding operations in Southern Queensland, state-of-the-art feedlots, a fully accredited beef processing facility and global marketing capabilities. We produce a full range of Grain and Grass-fed beef categories and export to over 40 countries worldwide.

Your Role

You’ll develop annual, quarterly and rolling maintenance plans and turn asset management strategy into practical, executable schedules. You’ll prioritise work on risk, criticality, cost and production needs, plan around production and sanitation windows, and coordinate shutdowns so planned work gets done.

You’ll schedule statutory, HACCP and export compliance maintenance so obligations are met and evidenced. You’ll keep CMMS data accurate, including asset registers, hierarchies, work orders and backlog, and review completed work orders to raise follow-up work where needed. Working with stores, you’ll make sure critical spares and materials are on hand before jobs start.

You’ll analyse maintenance and asset performance data to refine task frequency, scope and resourcing, report to site leadership, and feed lessons from completed work into future planning. You’ll also bring commissioning, handover, defect and warranty items from capital projects into the maintenance plan.

What you’ll bring





You’ll hold a relevant trade qualification or a diploma in maintenance planning, and have at least three years’ experience in a planning role in a manufacturing environment. Meat processing experience is an advantage.

You understand preventive, predictive and condition-based maintenance, asset lifecycle and criticality principles, and CMMS structures including work order lifecycle and backlog management. You know how WHS controls apply to maintenance work, including permits, isolations and high-risk work, and how HACCP and export requirements affect maintenance.

You can build and level schedules against labour, materials, production and shutdown constraints, and estimate scope, duration, labour and parts from drawings, manuals and history. You’re strong in Excel or similar tools and can present data clearly. You communicate well with production leaders, contractors and management, and can negotiate access and resolve scheduling conflicts.

You stay accurate under pressure, adjust plans quickly when breakdowns happen, and work well on your own and in a multidisciplinary team.
