Reliability Engineer

We are seeking an exceptional Reliability Engineer with deep expertise in mobile plant equipment and a strong background in RCMCost-driven asset strategy development, FMEA, and maintenance optimization. You will play a critical role in improving the reliability and lifecycle performance of heavy mobile equipment across a world‑class mining operation.

This role requires hands-on experience using Isograph Availability Workbench (AWB)—specifically the RCMCost module—to build, optimize, and validate maintenance strategies for mobile fleets.

Highly qualified international candidates may be considered for sponsorship under the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa – Subclass 482 or the Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa – Subclass 186.

Key Skills

Facilitate RCM workshops for mobile plant and develop structured, cost‑optimized maintenance strategies using RCMCost.

Lead and execute FMEA and RCFA investigations for mobile equipment, ensuring robust corrective and preventive actions.

Identify mobile equipment failure modes, degradation mechanisms, and systemic reliability issues across diverse fleet types.

Build and optimize asset strategies using Isograph AWB (RCMCost), including cost modelling, task selection, and lifecycle strategy validation.

Conduct risk assessments and align recommendations with operational, safety, and financial objectives.

Develop proactive maintenance tasks, work instructions, and standardized procedures to improve fleet reliability and execution consistency.

Strong capability in writing, reviewing, and optimizing technical procedures for mobile plant maintenance.

Experience

Minimum 10 years of reliability engineering experience, with at least 5 years focused on mobile plant equipment in mining or heavy industry.

Demonstrated experience developing asset strategies using RCMCost, including cost‑benefit analysis of maintenance tasks.

Extensive experience facilitating RCM and FMEA for mobile fleets (haul trucks, loaders, dozers, graders, drills, etc.).

Proven ability to embed RCM/RCFA methodologies into structured reliability programs.

Strong background in mobile plant systems: engines, drivetrains, hydraulics, electrical systems, and onboard monitoring.

Experience with reliability analytics tools and mobile fleet health monitoring systems.

Exposure to mining operations, fleet performance metrics, and maintenance best practices.

Qualifications

Engineering Degree (Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics) or Trade qualification with >10 years of hands-on mobile plant experience.

Formal training and certification in Reliability Engineering methodologies.

CMRP certification (or equivalent) preferred.

Demonstrated competency with Isograph AWB – RCMCost is essential.

Application Requirement

Applicants must submit a cover letter explaining why they should be considered for visa sponsorship under the TSS 482 or ENS 186 visa scheme. The cover letter should highlight:

Expertise in mobile plant reliability

Hands-on experience with RCMCost and FMEA

Key achievements in asset strategy development

Contributions to previous reliability improvement initiatives
