Job Description
About the Company
This company operates a long-life gold processing asset in the Goldfields, supported by strong production performance and ongoing capital investment. The site has a stable leadership team, a clear asset strategy, and a strong focus on safety, reliability, and continuous improvement.
The business values technical capability, practical problem-solving, and collaboration. Engineers are empowered to influence outcomes, challenge existing practices, and deliver meaningful improvements rather than simply “keep the plant running.”

This role is suited to a proactive reliability professional who enjoys working closely with operations and maintenance to drive asset performance, reduce downtime, and embed best-practice reliability strategies across fixed plant infrastructure.
- Develop and implement reliability strategies for fixed plant assets (processing plant, crushing, conveying, materials handling, etc.)
- Analyse asset performance using reliability tools (RCA, FMEA, Weibull, failure analysis)
- Identify and deliver improvement initiatives to reduce unplanned downtime and maintenance costs
- Support condition monitoring programs and maintenance optimisation
- Collaborate with maintenance, planning, and operational teams to improve equipment availability and life cycle performance
- Provide technical guidance and reliability expertise to site stakeholders
What you'll need to succeed
- Degree-qualified in Mechanical Engineering (or similar)
- Proven experience in a reliability or asset engineering role within mining or heavy industry
- Strong knowledge of fixed plant equipment and maintenance strategies
- Practical experience with reliability engineering methodologies and CMMS systems
- Strong communication skills and the ability to influence across multidisciplinary teams
- Safety-focused with a continuous improvement mindset
