An international mining and industrial technology organisation is seeking an experienced Plant Engineer to oversee engineering standards, plant optimisation, engineering projects and technical compliance within a production environment.
The position covers the full engineering project lifecycle — from conceptual and detailed design through construction, implementation, commissioning and handover.
The engineer will also provide technical leadership around plant equipment, automation, control systems, reliability and continuous improvement.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage engineering projects from concept and detailed design through implementation, testing and handover.
- Design and improve production facilities, plant equipment and engineering systems.
- Support automation and plant control systems.
- Develop equipment repair and maintenance procedures.
- Analyse production and engineering performance data.
- Identify opportunities to improve plant availability, reliability and efficiency.
- Maintain and upgrade production software and control systems.
- Commission plant, production equipment and engineering systems.
- Conduct engineering audits and continuous-improvement initiatives.
- Investigate engineering problems and provide technical solutions.
- Work closely with operations, contractors, engineering teams and other stakeholders.
- Develop and maintain engineering standards and technical documentation.
- Manage engineering databases and technical information.
- Manage third-party contractors and service-level agreements.
- Ensure engineering projects comply with applicable health, safety, explosives and regulatory requirements.
Minimum Requirements
- BSc Engineering, BTech Engineering or another relevant scientific/technical tertiary qualification.
- Approximately 5+ years' engineering experience.
- At least 3 years' experience within a manufacturing or production environment.
- Experience managing engineering projects.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving capability.
- Understanding of engineering design and practical implementation.
- Experience working with plant equipment and production systems.
- Computer literacy, including engineering/CAD applications.
- Strong stakeholder and contractor-management ability.
Advantageous
- Professional Engineer registration.
- Project Management certification.
- Automation or control-system experience.
- Mining, explosives, chemicals or process-manufacturing exposure.
Ideal Candidate
The strongest candidates will combine hands-on plant engineering capability with project delivery experience, rather than being purely maintenance engineers or purely design engineers.
