Commencement: 1 August 2025

Be part of something bigger—driving the future of sustainable resource production from the ground up.

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

This role will directly shape the success of this pilot program to build the foundation for full-scale crystalliser and SOP operations. Reporting to the eXcellerate Process Engineer/Supervisor, successful candidates will form part of a small, high-performing team responsible for;

  • Day-to-day operation of the pilot crystalliser plant
  • Precision sampling and brine movements for process control
  • Routine equipment maintenance and fault troubleshooting
  • 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

Preferred candidates will offer;

  • 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
  • The ability to work independently, think critically, and lead as required
  • A valid manual 'C' Class driver's license (essential); forklift and confined space tickets (desirable)

Remuneration and Benefits

  • Remuneration commensurate with qualifications and experience
  • FIFO from Perth 8:6 roster
  • 12-18 month fixed-term contract (with potential extension)
  • Modern accommodation and meals provided with full amenities
  • A collaborative, results-driven team culture
  • A chance to grow your skills and shape the operational model of a world-first facility
