Maintenance Fitters & Associated Trades – Expression of Interest

Summary

Heritage Minerals is coming back to life, restoring the rattle and hum of 30 years past.

As we continue the restart of the historic Mount Morgan Gold Mine, we are seeking Expressions of Interest from experienced Maintenance Fitters and Associated Trades personnel to support the establishment and ongoing operation of our workshop and fixed plant maintenance teams.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a growing operation from the ground up, helping ensure the reliability, safety and performance of mining equipment, infrastructure and processing assets.

Opportunities may be available across a variety of trades and maintenance disciplines, including:

• Fixed Plant Fitters
• Boilermakers
• Diesel Fitters
• Trades Assistants
• Electricians
• Leading Hands and Supervisors

As Heritage Minerals continues to ramp up operations, these roles will initially commence on a casual Monday to Friday roster while maintenance systems and infrastructure are established. Over time, successful employees will then transition into permanent positions as the operation moves into full production.

• Work collaboratively with operations, maintenance and technical personnel.
• Participate in continuous improvement initiatives to enhance equipment reliability and availability.

• Commitment to workplace health, safety and environmental standards.
• A proactive approach with a strong work ethic and attention to detail.
• The ability to work effectively both independently and within a team.
• Good communication and problem-solving skills.
• Flexibility and adaptability in a dynamic operational environment.
• A positive attitude and commitment to achieving maintenance and reliability targets.
