Maintenance Coordinator, Perth, Kalgoorlie or Queensland based. $150K to $200K + super + a company car. Permanent, office based, home every night. Start ASAP.
Interesting Industry Fact: on the Kola Superdeep Borehole, the deepest hole ever drilled, one bit change meant pulling over 11 km of pipe out of the ground and sending it all back down. Sixteen hours, and that was the quick version. A rig that isn't turning is costing someone money. Keeping them turning is this job. I'm David from Itch. One of Australia's leading exploration drilling contractors needs a Maintenance Coordinator for its Goldfields fleet: 11 to 15 rigs and 80 to 90 assets, all looking at you.
You'll be writing plenty of service schedules, so I've written the ad as one.
What's in it for you: - $150K up to $200K + super, plus a company car (WA) or fuel card (QLD)
- Office based. Your own bed every night, no swing to fly
- A large team with a genuinely good culture
- Exposure across a national fleet, and upskilling that goes somewhere
The Role: - Set maintenance priorities with the Drilling Operations Managers
- Plan and coordinate preventative, planned and corrective work
- Run breakdowns: right fitter, right parts, right plan, fast
- Own the quotes, costs and timelines, including for outside customers
- Manage service providers and keep the records spotless
- Be the link between the field and management, both ways
Qualifications Required: - Trade qualified HD or heavy plant fitter
- Maintenance experience in exploration drilling
- Coordinating, planning or leading hand time
- Confident on a computer, from maintenance systems to spreadsheets
- Permanent Australian work rights
- Bonus points: HR licence or above, and a forklift ticket
The honest bit: it's office hours, but breakdowns don't check the roster. You'll be the on-call contact for the region around the clock, which is part of why it pays what it pays.
The boss wants a good attitude, someone who goes after it, someone with something to prove. If that's you, I want to hear from you.
Hit apply and tell me about the worst breakdown you've sorted. I'll call for a confidential chat, then you'll meet the Maintenance Manager.
Spent years fixing what someone else planned? Time to plan what someone else fixes.
