Operations Technology Specialist

This is a hands-on field role where you’ll work directly with customers and equipment across mine sites.

You’ll install and support high-precision GPS and fleet management systems, diagnose faults, complete repairs and help customers get the best performance from their technology.

Key responsibilities include:

• Install and support GPS and fleet management systems on heavy mining equipment
• Diagnose faults, troubleshoot issues and complete repairs
• Install, remove and modify components and mounting equipment
• Update software and firmware onsite and remotely
• Read electrical and hydraulic schematics to support technical work

• Complete inspections, maintenance and preventative service activities
• Work safely across mine sites, workshops and customer locations
• Travel and work onsite as required

The PD also includes involvement in product demonstrations, R&D and technical support across the wider Aptella team.
