Recognised as a reliable low cost producer, we are committed to maximising value and performance across our operations to deliver strong returns for our investors.

Our flagship asset, the Blair Athol Coal Mine, is strategically located in Queensland’s prolific coal heartland and remains the bedrock of our operational success.

Looking ahead, we are strengthening our position in the region through a strategic partnership with leading Chinese energy company Wintime Energy Group Co. Ltd. Together, we are advancing the Moorlands Thermal Coal Project located less than 15 kilometres from Blair Athol as a key extension of our Central Queensland operations. This development is set to play a vital role in enhancing production capacity and supporting long term growth across our Australian portfolio.

At TerraCom, you will not just join a company, you will help shape its future. We are passionate about empowering our people to grow, learn, and unlock their full potential. If you are ready to step up and thrive, this is where your journey begins.

The Role: Lead the Team. Maximise Reliability. Deliver Safe Performance.

We are seeking an experienced, hands on Maintenance Supervisor to join our team at Blair Athol Coal Mine near Clermont, Central Queensland. This is an opportunity to lead maintenance crews at a busy open cut coal operation, take ownership of shift maintenance execution and make a direct impact on fleet reliability, equipment availability and safe production.

Working across a diverse mining fleet, you will bring together skilled tradespeople, clear priorities and practical problem solving to deliver quality maintenance safely, efficiently and on time. You will work closely with Mining and other site teams to keep critical equipment performing.

If you are a visible leader who enjoys developing people, solving operational challenges and improving the way maintenance is delivered, this role offers the chance to make a meaningful difference on site.

The Opportunity

Reporting to the Maintenance Superintendent, you will supervise shift maintenance activities and lead a multidisciplinary crew that includes fitters, electricians, boilermakers, operators and heavy truck mechanics. Your focus will be on safe execution, workforce coordination, maintenance quality and timely return of equipment to service.

You will help set the standard for safety, accountability and teamwork while identifying opportunities to reduce downtime, improve processes and manage maintenance costs. This is a practical frontline leadership role where your decisions and coaching have a visible effect on day to day performance.

Responsibilities of the Role

• Supervise and coordinate shift maintenance across the mining fleet, ensuring work is completed safely, to quality standards and in line with operational priorities.
• Work closely with the Mining team to respond to equipment defects, prioritise repairs and maximise equipment performance, reliability and availability.
• Lead, coach and develop tradespeople and operators, providing clear direction, constructive feedback and support for skills development.
• Champion a strong safety culture through visible leadership, field interactions, inspections, hazard controls and timely incident reporting and follow up.
• Ensure work complies with relevant safety and environmental requirements and the site Safety and Health Management System.
• Coordinate labour, equipment and resources to deliver efficient maintenance execution while maintaining a strong focus on cost and productivity.
• Oversee accurate maintenance records, prestart inspections, defect reporting and the consistent use of site systems and procedures.
• Collaborate across departments to resolve issues, improve work practices, minimise downtime and drive continuous improvement.
• Support crew attendance, performance management and effective shift communication in consultation with the Maintenance Superintendent.

About You

You are an experienced mining maintenance leader who is equally comfortable supporting your crew in the field, managing competing priorities and working with other departments to achieve safe, reliable outcomes. You lead by example, communicate clearly and take pride in helping your people succeed.

You will bring:

• A relevant mechanical or electrical trade qualification.
• Demonstrated supervisory experience in mining maintenance and the confidence to lead a multidisciplinary team.
• Experience coordinating maintenance of major mining equipment in an operational environment.
• A strong personal commitment to safety, risk management and compliance with site systems and procedures.
• Practical technical judgement, effective prioritisation skills and the ability to solve problems under pressure.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with a collaborative and accountable leadership style.
• Confidence using maintenance and business systems, including PRONTO and Microsoft Office.
• A proactive, improvement focused approach and a positive attitude that contributes to crew culture.

What’s on Offer

• A frontline leadership opportunity at TerraCom’s flagship Blair Athol Coal Mine, located approximately 24 km northwest of Clermont.
• A 7 days on, 7 days off roster, rotating between day and night shift.
• An attractive salary package aligned with your skills and experience.
• The chance to lead a capable, diverse maintenance crew and have a direct impact on equipment availability and operational performance.
• Exposure to a broad open cut mining operation and close collaboration with Mining and other site teams.
• An environment that values safety, teamwork, accountability and practical continuous improvement.
• Opportunities to develop your leadership capability and contribute to TerraCom’s ongoing Central Queensland operations.
