About the role
Join Bis at Karara and lead the crews that keep fixed plant and conveyors running. Reporting to the Maintenance Superintendent, you’ll turn the weekly maintenance schedule into a clear daily plan, coordinate trades and contractors, and work with Operations to get equipment back into service safely.

- Run the weekly scheduling meeting with the Maintenance Planner and confirm labour, parts and permits are ready before work starts.
- Supervise trades and contractors, verify the quality of completed work and sign off work orders in JDE.
- Keep statutory inspections on schedule and follow up equipment defects, condition monitoring findings and recurring failures.
- Coach team members, keep training and competencies current, and keep Operations informed about downtime and equipment availability.
What you’ll bring
- At least five years’ experience in a similar role in mining, mining construction or oil and gas, with hands-on fixed plant and conveyor experience at a mine site or processing plant.
- An Australian-recognised mechanical trade qualification at Certificate III level or above and a current unrestricted Australian C class driver’s licence.
- A Schedule 26 Statutory Supervisor certificate or eligibility for appointment.
- An EWP licence, confined space entry and working at heights tickets, a White Card, and basic rigging and dogging qualifications.
- Experience supervising trades and contractors in high-risk environments, including managing scope, productivity and costs.
- Experience with planned maintenance, breakdown response and a maintenance management system such as JDE, SAP or Pronto.
- Working knowledge of WHSE requirements, risk management, isolations, permits and statutory inspections.
First aid, a Certificate IV in Leadership and Management or equivalent, and experience leading shutdowns, investigating incidents or improving plant reliability are desirable.
