Manager : Asset Management
The Opportunity
We are looking for an experienced maintenance and asset management leader to join a site leadership team within our Australian operations.
Reporting to the General Manager, you will be the technical and operational authority for maintenance on site, ensuring the process plant, paste plant, and fixed and mobile assets are maintained to a standard that sustains safe, reliable and cost-effective gold production.
You will lead the full maintenance value chain (delivery, planning and scheduling, and reliability engineering) across an open pit or underground operation, translating the site's asset management strategy into disciplined, well-planned maintenance work, and driving continuous improvement in equipment performance and whole-of-life asset cost.
What You'll Do
- Lead a team responsible for Delivery, Plan & Schedule and Reliability.
- Deliver preventative, corrective and condition-based maintenance across fixed plant, mobile equipment, OT, instrumentation and comms, and site support infrastructure.
- Plan and deliver shutdowns safely, to scope and to schedule.
- Ensure statutory inspections (such as pressure vessels, lifting equipment and electrical installations) are completed on time.
- Own work management in SAP S/4HANA, the maintenance budget and maintenance demand forecasting.
- Own the material risks and critical controls allocated to the maintenance function.
- Drive defect elimination and reliability improvement, and develop maintenance strategies and tactics that balance cost, risk and performance.
- Direct and verify contractor performance against work packs, scope and site standards where maintenance is contractor-delivered.
- Ensure maintenance personnel have the technical skills and competencies to safely maintain the asset base.
