We're looking for a hands-on Operator–Maintainer to support the safe, efficient operation of a large-scale Crystalliser Pilot Plant and future Sulphate of Potash (SOP) Pilot Plant. This is a key opportunity to work on an industry-leading renewable-powered development.
About the Role

- Supporting a strong safety culture through field leadership
- Providing feedback to support process optimisation
- Acting in a supervisory capacity when required
Why This Role Stands Out
Joining eXcellerate means more than just operating equipment—it's about driving innovation, contributing to sustainable practices, and being part of a supportive, values-led team. You'll be mentored by industry leaders, backed by cutting-edge tech, and empowered to make a real impact from day one.
About You

- 3+ years' experience in mineral/salt processing or similar industrial environment
- Certificate III Process Plant Operations or relevant trade/engineering qualification (desirable)
- Strong mechanical aptitude and hands-on maintenance skills
