Job Description


About the Role


We’re looking for a passionate, hands-on

Support Engineer

to join our growing team. You’ll play a critical role in bringing our advanced

machine vision systems

to life on client sites across the mining industry — from installation and commissioning to ongoing support and remote troubleshooting.


This is a dynamic, customer-facing role where you’ll combine technical expertise with real-world problem-solving in exciting industrial environments. You’ll report to the Support Technical Lead.


What You’ll Do


  • Install and commission state-of-the-art

    machine vision systems

    on client equipment (conveyor belts, flotation cells, etc.).

  • Configure sensors, IP cameras, IP lasers, network switches, LED lighting, and low-voltage power systems.

  • Perform software installation, XML configuration, and system handovers with client training.

  • Provide ongoing remote monitoring, diagnostics, and troubleshooting of deployed systems.

  • Debug complex issues involving sensors, OPC communication, and data integrity.

  • Collaborate with client IT teams on network infrastructure and pre-installation planning.

  • Develop smart troubleshooting tools and SOPs to improve support efficiency.

  • Build strong, long-term relationships with clients through exceptional technical support.


Requirements


Minimum Requirements


  • Bachelor’s Degree or Diploma in

    Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering

    , or a related technical field.


What Will Make You Stand Out


  • 2–4 years’ hands-on experience in mining, minerals processing, or industrial electronics.

  • Field support experience in harsh industrial environments.

  • Strong troubleshooting skills with electronics (power supplies, PLCs, IP cameras, Wi-Fi, flood lights, etc.).

  • Experience with networking infrastructure, servers, firewalls, and database hosting.

  • Knowledge of

    OPC communication

    is a big advantage.

  • Passion for problem-solving and delivering outstanding customer service.

  • Ability to work independently and thrive in a fast-paced environment.
