Maintenance Superintendent

This is a Maintenance Superintendent role working across multiple Australian operations, leading maintenance across both mobile and fixed plant within a mining services environment focused on blasting and explosives.

It’s an established setup, but with enough variation across sites to give you real scope to improve how things are done and make your mark on performance.

You’ll enjoy this if you:

• Like improving systems rather than maintaining the status quo
• Want to have a visible impact on reliability and downtime
• Prefer a role where you can influence across sites, not just sit on one
• Are comfortable making decisions and keeping things moving
• Enjoy seeing the results of better planning and smarter maintenance over time.

You'll be responsible for the reliability, planning and maintenance of a specialised blasting fleet operating across multiple sites, while supporting the team and improving maintenance performance.

To step into it, you’ll bring:

• Experience leading maintenance teams in mining, resources, or heavy industry
• Trade qualification as a Diesel Mechanic or Fitter
• Experience working with blasting equipment
• Strong grounding in mobile and/or fixed plant
• Confidence across planning, shutdowns, and day-to-day execution
• Maintenance planning experience
• Familiarity with MEX or similar maintenance software
• Intermediate to advanced Microsoft Office skills
• A track record of improving availability and performance
• Strong people leadership skills and experience supporting teams with varying operational requirements
• Auto electrical experience will be highly regarded
• A practical, get-things-done approach.

This role is based in Dysart and is Monday to Friday (DIDO) with accommodation provided, so ideally you will live in Mackay or Yeppoon or surrounding areas.

If you’re looking for something very structured and steady, this might not be it. But if you prefer having the scope to improve things and actually influence outcomes, it’s worth a conversation.

Unfortunately, MPI are only able to consider people with appropriate and relevant experience, and who are either Australian Permanent Residents or have the necessary permits to work in Australia and are currently in Australia.
