About You 

 

You bring a mechanical mindset and a practical understanding of how plant systems operate, along with the ability to coordinate work and make sound decisions in a dynamic environment.

  • Industry experience (trade qualified – fitter ideal)  

  • Experience coordinating work, projects or maintenance activities  

  • Strong understanding of plant systems and how work gets identified, planned and executed
