Job Description

BlueScope is a global leader in the steel industry, with a strong presence in 15 countries. Our team of over 16,500 people is our greatest strength, and we strive to create a safe, successful, and well environment for everyone. We're innovators in transforming steel into smart products and solutions that support society today and in the future.

The Opportunity

Our Port Kembla Springhill Manufacturing facility is seeking a Reliability Engineer (Mechanical, Electrical, or Mechatronics) to join our Paint Finishing Department (PFD) Maintenance team. As part of the Australian Steel Products portfolio, we have six major manufacturing sites at Port Kembla that deliver a variety of products, innovative solutions, and services to our export and domestic customers.

The painting and finishing department at Springhill is the final process in the manufacture of Colorbond, where coils of steel are painted with our world-leading Colorbond coating process and then packaged and dispatched to our Australian and international customers.

This rare opportunity welcomes engineering disciplines from Mechanical, Electrical, or Mechatronics, with a background in heavy industrial/manufacturing maintenance. Reporting to the PFD Asset Manager, you will operate within a multi-skilled team focusing on delivering sustained improvement in process uptime and unit cost reduction to our plant assets. To ensure operational productivity and asset improvement targets are achieved, you will bring an integrated and comprehensive approach to eliminating defects, identifying and leading improvement projects, coaching team members, and minimizing risk to the business.

Key Responsibilities

  • Coach and mentor maintenance team members by identifying and closing technical knowledge gaps.
  • Provide automation control system technical support, advanced problem-solving, and fault-finding.
  • Analyze plant and equipment performance data for patterns and ensure recurring problems are resolved and effective solutions are institutionalized.
  • Lead and facilitate multi-disciplined teams to identify and implement asset and cost improvement projects.
  • Supervise maintenance activities and strive for business improvements and manufacturing excellence.
  • Develop, maintain, and improve the maintenance strategy and capital project plans to increase reliability and minimize cost.
  • Identify and lead cost reduction activities by implementing strategies to improve the efficiency of the R&M spend, develop and update maintenance lifecycle plans for critical equipment.
  • Build effective relationships to drive the continuous reliability of our HSM assets.

About You

You will hold a degree qualification in Mechanical, Electrical, or Mechatronics Engineering combined with suitable experience in relevant maintenance within manufacturing or heavy industry. Therefore, you will have:

  • Tertiary qualifications in Mechanical, Electrical, or Mechatronics Engineering, or you could be a well-versed industrial tradesperson with a Diploma of Engineering.
  • A commitment to the safety and wellbeing of yourself, your team, and others.
  • Experience working in a similar industry within Maintenance, with a strong focus on defect elimination and equipment reliability.
  • Experience or exposure pending your engineering discipline with fault-finding PLCs and motor control systems.
  • The ability to work both independently and as part of a manufacturing team, to influence peers and colleagues to meet operational requirements, scheduling, and people demands.
