Mechanical Equipment Specialist

Ready to Bring the Heat?  Become Our Next Equipment Specialist at Coke Plant 2!

Ventia is on the hunt for a mechanically-minded legend to join our Coke Plant 2 Asset Team at the iconic BlueScope Port Kembla Steelworks. If you know your way around pressure vessels, pipelines, and plant shutdowns—and you’ve got a knack for keeping things running smoother than a fresh weld—this is your moment to shine!

Why You’ll Love This Role:

• Work with a team that’s as solid as steel.
• Enjoy a coastal lifestyle while working in one of Australia’s most iconic industrial sites.
• Use your brain and your hands—this role is all about thinking outside the (tool)box.
• Be the go-to guru for inspections, maintenance planning, and equipment longevity.

What You’ll Be Doing (Besides Looking Awesome in PPE):

• Monitoring and reporting on asset condition (you’ll be the Sherlock Holmes of steel).
• Supporting the Asset Improvement Coordinators with daily tasks.
• Scoping and planning maintenance, shutdowns, and breakdowns.
• Creating work orders in SAP (yes, we know it’s a love-hate relationship).
• Participating in RCA (Root Cause Analysis, not the record label).
• Getting hands-on with multi-discipline teams—because teamwork makes the dream work.

What You’ll Bring to the Table (Besides Your Toolbox):

• Mechanical Trade Qualification (bonus points if you’ve got a Diploma of Engineering or are keen to get one).
• Solid mechanical aptitude and problem-solving skills.
• A proactive attitude and pride in your work.
• Experience in similar roles or ready to take the next step.
• NSW Driver’s Licence, and computer literacy.
• A passion for improvement and a knack for communication.
