Step into a key leadership role on one of Western Australia’s most significant gold operations.

 

Located approximately 180km from Laverton, deep within the Yamarna Greenstone Belt, Gruyere is a large-scale open pit gold mine set in a remote desert landscape, delivering world-class production and performance. This is your opportunity to lead maintenance on a newly acquired Ausdrill project and make your mark from day one.

 

As Maintenance Supervisor, you will report directly to the Project Manager and take full ownership of maintenance performance across a critical fleet of drilling and support equipment.

 

You will lead from the front, driving safety, accountability and operational excellence while building a high-performing maintenance team in a fast-paced production environment.
