An international mining and industrial technology organisation is seeking an experienced Plant Engineer to oversee engineering standards, plant optimisation, engineering projects and technical compliance within a production environment.

The position covers the full engineering project lifecycle — from conceptual and detailed design through construction, implementation, commissioning and handover.

The engineer will also provide technical leadership around plant equipment, automation, control systems, reliability and continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities

- Manage engineering projects from concept and detailed design through implementation, testing and handover.

- Design and improve production facilities, plant equipment and engineering systems.

- Support automation and plant control systems.

- Develop equipment repair and maintenance procedures.

- Analyse production and engineering performance data.

- Identify opportunities to improve plant availability, reliability and efficiency.

- Maintain and upgrade production software and control systems.

- Commission plant, production equipment and engineering systems.

- Conduct engineering audits and continuous-improvement initiatives.

- Investigate engineering problems and provide technical solutions.

- Work closely with operations, contractors, engineering teams and other stakeholders.





- Develop and maintain engineering standards and technical documentation.

- Manage engineering databases and technical information.

- Manage third-party contractors and service-level agreements.

- Ensure engineering projects comply with applicable health, safety, explosives and regulatory requirements.

Minimum Requirements

- BSc Engineering, BTech Engineering or another relevant scientific/technical tertiary qualification.

- Approximately 5+ years' engineering experience.

- At least 3 years' experience within a manufacturing or production environment.

- Experience managing engineering projects.

- Strong analytical and problem-solving capability.

- Understanding of engineering design and practical implementation.

- Experience working with plant equipment and production systems.

- Computer literacy, including engineering/CAD applications.

- Robust stakeholder and contractor-management ability.

Advantageous

- Professional Engineer registration.

- Project Management certification.

- Automation or control-system experience.

- Mining, explosives, chemicals or process-manufacturing exposure.

Ideal Candidate

The strongest candidates will combine hands-on plant engineering capability with project delivery experience, rather than being purely maintenance engineers or purely design engineers.
