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.
