This role offers the opportunity to work in a high‑performing environment where precision, accountability and results matter. With ongoing coaching and development from experienced technical leaders, you’ll continue to build capability while contributing to an operation that delivers consistently and performs at its best.

  • Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team
  • Strong communication skills and stakeholder engagement ability
  • A commitment to safety, quality and continuous improvement
  • Flexibility to work additional hours when operationally required

What’s in it for you?

    • Starting salary $82,575 reviewed after 3 months. Potential earnings could exceed $110,000 (with penalties and overtime).
    • Annual salary reviews and pay progression opportunities
