Plan it. Drive it. Keep the operation moving.
At Bis, we don’t just move material — we keep some of Australia’s biggest mining operations running. From logistics and haulage to maintenance and asset support, our teams are trusted to deliver safely, efficiently, and reliably every day.

- Preparing work packs and coordinating labour, parts, and resources
- Leading shutdown planning activities including schedules and Gantt charts
- Coordinating daily and weekly maintenance planning meetings
- Raising requisitions, sourcing parts, and liaising with suppliers and contractors
- Monitoring equipment performance, downtime, and availability reporting
- Supporting workshop teams with technical planning and CMMS guidance
- Driving continuous improvement across maintenance systems and planning processes
What We’re Looking For
You’ll be a proactive and organised maintenance professional who enjoys working closely with operational teams and driving reliability outcomes.
To be successful, you’ll ideally have:
- Extensive experience in fixed plant maintenance planning
- Strong knowledge of conveyors, crushers, and fixed plant equipment
- Shutdown planning and coordination experience
- Previous experience using CMMS platforms such as JD Edwards
- Strong planning, scheduling, and reporting capability
- Sound understanding of maintenance workflows and asset management
- Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills
- A strong commitment to safety, teamwork, and operational excellence
Mechanical trade qualifications and Microsoft Project experience will be highly regarded.
