About the role
We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated Reliability Engineers to join our Maintenance Planning & Engineering Team (MP&E) team at Marandoo within Rio Tinto Iron Ore (RTIO). Working with the latest in technology and innovation, you will use defect elimination and reliability engineering processes to improve asset performance, predominantly for the Heavy Mobile and ancillary equipment.
Reporting to the Senior Engineer you will:
- Lead and support investigations into asset failures and performance, including root cause analysis (RCA)
- Leverage equipment performance data to successfully identify and implement reliability improvement initiatives
- Recommend and implement tactics designed to support high levels of asset safety, reliability, and integrity
- Provide technical engineering support to the site maintenance execution teams
- Actively contribute to asset strategy by developing asset lifecycle plans and zero-based budgets for Mobile Equipment
- Execute both technical and process-based projects derived to improve the performance of the fleet
- Monitor and analyse the performance of our assets and review primary/ secondary maintenance tasks to improve asset reliability and cost
- Demonstrate the Rio Tinto values of Care, Courage and Curiosity
What you’ll bring
You are someone who thrives on a challenge and is willing to be creative when solving technical problems. With a natural ability to relate to a diverse range of stakeholders, you will know how to effectively collaborate with others to drive successful outcomes. You would be able to independently manage time and prioritize the right work among all the tasks.
