Operational Reliability Engineer

Emeco is looking for an Operational Reliability Engineer to help lift asset performance across our business.

This is not a reporting role. It’s a hands-on position focused on turning data into action, improving maintenance execution, and working directly with site teams to deliver measurable reliability outcomes.

You’ll play a key role in strengthening how we plan, execute and sustain maintenance, while helping embed a consistent, practical approach to reliability across multiple operations.

Why join Emeco?

  • Competitive remuneration + 12% super paid
  • Fortnightly pay
  • Mackay based role with site-based exposure to major mining operations
  • Opportunity to shape and build a growing reliability function
  • Work with a team focused on real operational outcomes, not just reporting

What you’ll be doing

  • Work directly with site teams, including attending sites to improve maintenance execution and asset performance
  • Turn data into clear, practical actions that reduce downtime and improve availability
  • Identify and eliminate repeat failures through structured root cause analysis
  • Lift planning and scheduling discipline to improve work quality and efficiency
  • Support the rollout of condition-based and predictive maintenance practices
  • Partner with operations to ensure reliability initiatives are actually executed on the ground
  • Provide coaching and guidance to supervisors and trades on reliability thinking and decision-making
  • Contribute to the ongoing development of Emeco’s Work Management and Asset Performance frameworks

What we’re looking for

  • Mechanical Engineering degree or similar industry experience
  • Proven experience improving asset performance in mining or heavy mobile equipment environments
  • Strong understanding of maintenance work management, planning and execution
  • Ability to work with data, identify trends, and translate insights into actions
  • Practical, site-focused mindset - comfortable engaging directly with frontline teams
  • Experience with CAT, Hitachi or Liebherr equipment
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work within a customer environment

The opportunity

This role is suited to someone who wants to move beyond analysis and into impact.

If you’re motivated by improving how maintenance is actually executed - not just measured - and want to play a key role in lifting performance across a national fleet, we’d like to hear from you.
