About the role
Mechanical Maintenance Engineer (Fixed Plant) | Pilbara | 8:6 Days | Contract
Plant defects don't fix themselves, and this team doesn't want another report about them. They want an engineer who'll get out on site, find the cause and put in a fix that lasts.
You'll join a major, long-life Pilbara operation as the go-to mechanical maintenance engineer for fixed plant. The goal is simple: less downtime, more throughput and a safer site.
The safety culture is strong, and you'll be backed by people who want practical solutions.
