About the role
Reporting to the Supervisor, Mechanical, you will be responsible for the effective execution and supervision of mechanical maintenance related issues for underground and surface equipment on site. You will be working an 8:6 and 7:7 roster, providing opportunity to spend more quality time at home when not on shift. This position will also fill in for the Supervisor from time to time.
What you'll do
Cracow Gold Operations is an established high-grade, low-cost gold operation located near the towns of Cracow and Theodore in central Queensland, on the traditional lands of the Wulli Wulli people. Aeris acquired Cracow Gold Operations on 1 July 2020 and holds a significant tenement package over the Cracow goldfields covering 935km2.
Cracow has multiple ore bodies accessed by a single decline to the surface and mined via open stoping through a modified Avoca mining sequence. Processing is via a 600,000tpa capacity facility involving conventional crushing and grinding, followed by a leaching / CIP circuit to recover gold and silver doré.
