Job description

This is an opportunity to step into a role where you can genuinely leave your mark.

The business is investing in strengthening its electrical maintenance framework and is looking for someone who can assess the current environment, identify the priorities and progressively implement sustainable improvements.

You won't be expected to change everything overnight. You'll have the autonomy to develop a roadmap, work closely with an experienced electrical workforce and build the systems and processes required to support a complex operation into the future.

You're also be joining at an exciting time as the broader operation continues to invest in automation, technology and asset modernisation.

About the Role

Working within the Engineering function, the Electrical Superintendent will act as the site's Electrical Subject Matter Expert across a large and diverse asset base.

While there are no direct reports, you will provide technical direction and guidance to a team of electricians while partnering closely with Maintenance, Automation, Reliability and Operations.

The role combines electrical technical leadership, compliance, maintenance improvement and change management. Building credibility with the workforce will be equally as important as your technical knowledge.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as the site's Electrical SME and escalation point for complex electrical matters.
• Strengthen electrical governance, procedures, documentation and compliance.
• Provide technical guidance and direction to the electrical maintenance workforce.
