The Mechanical Maintenance Technical Coordinator supports reliable and safe operation of plant equipment by coordinating mechanical maintenance activities, planning shutdowns, prioritising work orders and providing technical guidance to maintenance teams and contractors. Candidates are expected to have a relevant mechanical trade qualification or engineering background, practical experience in heavy industry, and knowledge of rotating equipment, conveyors, hydraulics and reliability practices. Strong communication, planning, problem-solving and contractor-management skills are important. The role also requires a commitment to safety, environmental standards, continuous improvement and BlueScope’s operating procedures. Experience with computerised maintenance management systems and working in a steel, manufacturing or similarly complex industrial environment would be advantageous.
