Your role in action:

• Provide hands-on technical and operational support for diesel generation assets, fuel systems, controls and associated infrastructure across remote communities. • Work closely with fuel suppliers to coordinate and maintain reliable diesel supply to remote communities, ensuring continuity of power generation operations. • Travel throughout regional WA to support maintenance programs, field inspections, fault response, outage restoration and operational readiness. • Coordinate and monitor work delivered by Regional Service Providers, ensuring safety, quality, scope and operational requirements are met. • Analyse operational information, investigate equipment issues and help develop practical corrective actions and technical improvements. • Support maintenance planning, work scoping, commissioning, asset handover and fuel continuity across geographically dispersed sites.

What you’ll bring:

• An electrical or mechanical trade qualification, with strong practical experience in power generation, diesel generators, fuel systems or similar industrial assets. Mechanical trade backgrounds are highly preferred. • Strong generation experience, including maintenance, troubleshooting and responding to equipment failures or unplanned outages. • Knowledge of electrical switching, isolation and permitting requirements, or the willingness and ability to obtain the relevant authorisations. • Experience coordinating contractors or field service providers and influencing safe, consistent work outcomes without direct line authority. • A proactive, hands-on approach, a willingness to travel regularly to remote locations, and the drive to get out in the field and get the job done.
