Myndshift Group supports a number of industries including mining, civil construction and heavy engineering. With our extensive experience and wide-reaching network, we are proud to deliver the highest quality project personnel in partnership with some of Australia's largest companies.
 
Myndshift Group has been engaged by our client partner, a leading ASX-listed mining contractor, to appoint an experienced Maintenance Planner to its open cut coal operation on a contract-to-permanent basis.
 
About the Role
This is where the plan meets the pit. Working alongside a dedicated team of planners, schedulers and a short-term planner, you'll plan maintenance across approximately 100 assets, from ultra-class haul trucks to large excavators. Priorities shift quickly, so you'll suit this role if you enjoy fast-moving, ad-hoc work in a contractor environment.
Equipment you will plan across includes:

• Liebherr R 9800, R 9400 and R 9350 excavators
• Hitachi EX3600 excavators
• Caterpillar D10 and D11 dozers
• Caterpillar 793 and 794 haul trucks
• Komatsu WA600 and WA900 loaders
• EH5000 ultra-class haul trucks

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain maintenance schedules for open cut mobile equipment, working with production teams to keep work running efficiently
• Turn asset management plans, inspections, defect reports and service findings into executable work orders
• Manage maintenance backlogs, spot scheduling constraints early and address risks before they affect production
• Own the work order lifecycle in SAP, from raising purchase orders to accurate data and timely close-out
• Track maintenance compliance and performance, working with operational leaders, contractors and maintenance crews to deliver weekly schedules, reporting and reliability improvements
• Provide weekly maintenance schedules and supporting documentation to operational stakeholders

About You
You are a trade-qualified maintenance professional who thrives in a fast-paced mining environment and understands how effective planning drives operational success.

• Demonstrated experience as a Maintenance Planner within open cut mining, ideally in a mining contractor environment
• Strong understanding of maintenance planning and execution methodologies
• Working knowledge of SAP as a CMMS
• Experience planning heavy mobile equipment such as excavators, dozers, haul trucks and loaders
• Ability to analyse equipment reliability and maintenance performance trends
• Sound knowledge of risk management processes, permits, JSEAs and site safety systems
• Strong organisational, communication and stakeholder management skills
• Proven ability to work collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams, and to manage backlogs and competing priorities in an ad-hoc environment

What's on Offer

• Contract to permanent opportunity with a leading ASX-listed mining contractor
• Strong hourly rate with weekly pay
• Super and Coal LSL paid on all hours worked
• 8/6 roster on 12.5 hour shifts
• BIBO from Mackay or Townsville
• Salary Sacrifice options available for flights
• Camp accommodation and meals provided
