About the role
 

We’re looking for a driven, agile and experienced Southern Region Maintenance Manager to lead maintenance operations across our Sunshine, Derrimut, and Wynyard sites.

This is more than a leadership role — it’s an exciting opportunity to shape maintenance strategy, drive cultural change, and leave a lasting impact on our operations.

In this busy role, you’ll report to the Southern Region Manufacturing Manager and work closely with site leaders to deliver a proactive, best-practice maintenance program that enhances safety, reliability, and performance.

This is a hands-on role where you will lead a small, skilled maintenance team and coordinate with external contractors to ensure seamless delivery of maintenance and improvement projects.
 

What you will you do



* Develop and deliver a forward-looking maintenance strategy that shifts the focus from reactive to proactive, predictive solutions.


* Lead and mentor a small team of maintenance professionals, fostering a culture of ownership, accountability, safety and continuous improvement.


* Manage and coordinate external contractors to support project delivery, shutdowns, and specialised maintenance tasks.


* Working together with site leaders, champion a Safety-First culture, embedding Aliaxis global safety standards and leading by example through visible, hands-on leadership.


* Optimise plant availability through structured shutdown planning, root cause analysis, and reliability engineering.


* Leverage the MEX system and other too...
