Be part of something extraordinary

With a multi-million-dollar investment from George Weston Foods, Mauri is building a brand new, state-of-the-art flour mill in Ballarat. We're looking for passionate, creative individuals to help commission and bring this site to life.

Working with $45 million worth of cutting-edge Swiss milling technology, this is a rare opportunity to join a site from the very beginning. You'll contribute to an environment that sets new standards in systems, data, and process optimisation and play a key role in embedding efficient, scalable operations from day one.

This is your chance to make a lasting impact and shape the future of flour milling in Australia. We're inviting you to build deep knowledge of a site from the ground up and be part of a team that's feeding the nation sustainably.

About the Role

As Reliability Manager, you'll lead the reliability and asset management strategy for our new Ballarat site, playing a key role in setting up systems, processes, and supplier relationships that will define how the site runs for years to come.

You'll be hands-on, someone who enjoys being on the floor, understanding how things work, and solving problems in real time. With a smaller team and highly advanced equipment, this role is about working smart, not just hard. You'll help commission new assets, optimise performance, and embed wholistic reliability practices that support long-term success.

The suitable candidate will possess:

• Tertiary qualifications in Engineering, Asset Management or a related discipline
• Experience in advanced manufacturing environments, ideally involving powders or food production, with a strong focus on asset performance optimisation and reliability processes
• A background in maintenance management, with a proven ability to set up and embed new maintenance programs and asset management systems
• Familiarity with control systems and a solid understanding of how data and KPIs drive performance
• A profile that leans toward electrical but also with a good grasp of mechanical concepts
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to build relationships with local suppliers and collaborate across teams
