Coregas is shaping the future of gases in Australia and New Zealand. As a proud member of Nippon Sanso Holdings, we continue to manufacture gases locally and distribute them across Australia and New Zealand.

Coregas' vision is Changing Gases, Changing Lives. At Coregas, we help our customers achieve amazing things by delivering products, expertise and personal service second to none.

We’re looking for an experienced Maintenance Planner to join our Port Kembla team and take ownership of planned maintenance activities across our Tonnage production facilities.

Based at our Port Kembla production facility, you’ll play a key role in ensuring electrical, mechanical and instrumentation equipment is maintained safely, effectively and cost-efficiently. You’ll coordinate maintenance plans, resources, contractors, parts and systems while continuously looking for opportunities to improve reliability, safety and maintenance performance.

What you’ll be doing

• Develop, maintain and continuously improve planned maintenance schedules across electrical, mechanical and instrumentation equipment.
• Plan and coordinate preventive and corrective maintenance activities, including labour, contractors, parts and associated administration.
• Maintain accurate maintenance plans and records within the MEX maintenance management system.
• Develop achievable maintenance plans that balance safety, operational and commercial requirements.
• Coordinate Coregas trades, third-party contractors and specialist resources to deliver maintenance activities.
• Drive continuous improvement across maintenance safety, quality, reliability and cost.
• Support Safe Work Systems, including preparation of permits and JSAs where required.
• Coordinate unplanned and breakdown maintenance when required.
• Provide support for maintenance and engineering projects.
• Support effective maintenance planning across Port Kembla, Mackay, Darra and Erskine Park Tonnage facilities.

The site operates in a 24/7 heavy industrial environment and includes cryogenic air separation, nitrogen liquefaction, hydrogen production, compressors, bulk liquid storage, high-voltage and low-voltage electrical infrastructure, and associated maintenance facilities.

It’s an opportunity to work across diverse plant and equipment while having genuine influence over how maintenance is planned and continuously improved.
