You communicate well, build trust and can influence operators, supervisors and technical specialists without needing formal authority. You are energetic, resilient and flexible, especially when working rotating shifts. You understand that operations continue around the clock. Experience & Capability Good understanding of mining operations, load and haul, and mobile heavy equipment Strong knowledge of fixed plant processes, applications and yield Ability to understand operational data and turn it into practical actions Experience in environments where safety, uptime and production targets are important Experience working shift-based hours A relevant science, engineering or technical qualification is preferred, but practical industry experience will also be considered.
