Job description

Who We Are

Zinfra is a leading partner in the design, build, operation and maintenance of Australia's energy and utilities infrastructure. Delivering an annual portfolio of more than $1.2 billion, our work helps keep energy flowing safely and reliably to communities across Australia while supporting the nation's energy transition.

With a workforce of more than 2,800 people, we deliver complex infrastructure, asset management and field services across Australia's east coast. Our people draw on deep industry experience, an unwavering commitment to safety, and practical innovation to deliver the right outcomes for our clients and communities.

About the role

We're looking for a skilled Pipeline Operator Technician to join our Queensland Gas Pipeline (QGP) operations team.

In this hands-on role, you'll help operate and maintain critical gas transmission infrastructure, including pipelines, compressor stations, facilities, instrumentation, and electrical systems.

Working a 14 days on / 14 days off roster, you'll enjoy genuine work-life balance while building your expertise across a diverse asset base. We welcome FIFO, DIDO, and local candidates, with accommodation provided during rostered periods.

No two days are the same. You could be troubleshooting instrumentation faults, maintaining Solar turbines and gas-powered equipment, conducting inspections, supporting commissioning activities, responding to operational issues, or working alongside contractors and engineering teams to improve asset performance.

You'll join a small, experienced team responsible for maintaining the Queensland Gas Pipeline and associated facilities. With significant investment planned across the network, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to major asset renewal, reliability, and improvement projects.

If you enjoy technical problem-solving, working autonomously, and taking ownership of critical infrastructure, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.

Key Responsibilities include

• Perform planned and corrective maintenance across compressor stations, pipelines and associated facilities
• Diagnose and troubleshoot electrical, instrumentation and mechanical equipment faults
• Operate and maintain critical gas transmission assets, including compressors, turbines, valves and metering equipment
• Support inspections, emergency response activities and asset reliability initiatives
• Contribute to commissioning, construction and asset improvement projects while working with key stakeholders
• Participate in the on-call roster supporting a 24/7 operation

Roster: 14 Days On / 14 Days Off | FIFO/DIDO opportunity supporting the operation and maintenance of the Banana and Rolleston Compressor Stations. Accommodation is provided at our Rolleston and Moura operational bases, with team members staying onsite during their roster to support operational requirements.

About You

You're an Electrical & Instrumentation professional who enjoys working in the field, solving technical problems, and taking ownership of your work. You'll bring:

• Certificate III in Electrotechnology Electrician (essential)
• Certificate III or IV in Instrumentation & Control (essential)
• Current Electrical Licence, Driver's Licence and White Card (essential)
• Experience in gas, utilities, energy, manufacturing, resources or similar industrial environments
• Strong troubleshooting and fault-finding skills across electrical and instrumentation systems
• Experience working with compressors, rotating equipment and critical infrastructure assets
