STRUCTURAL SPECIALIST – HEAVY MINING EQUIPMENT

Mackay and Southern Bowen Basin

Full-time | Company vehicle and fuel card | Overtime, site allowances and RDOs

USE YOUR PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE TO ELIMINATE THE UNKNOWN

iScope is seeking an experienced Structural Specialist to support established condition monitoring and repair management programs across Central Queensland.

The role will primarily support a coal mine in the Southern Bowen Basin, with additional work at other mine sites as required.

This is a practical position combining structural inspections, repair planning, welding quality assurance and reporting. You will become familiar with the individual assets and take ownership of monitoring their condition, repair history and recurring problem areas over time.

THE ROLE |

Your responsibilities will include:

• Inspecting Excavator Buckets, Shovel Dippers and Doors, Dragline Buckets, Truck Trays and other structural mining components

• Identifying and documenting cracking, wear, deformation and previous repairs

• Monitoring known defects through photographs, measurements and inspection records

• Completing thickness measurements and tracking wear trends

• Preparing inspection reports, defect registers, repair notifications and practical repair recommendations

• Assisting with repair prioritisation, forward planning and development of repair scopes

• Reviewing welding procedures, ITPs and NDT reports

• Coordinating inspection requirements with site personnel, repairers and 3rd Party NDT providers

• Monitoring onsite and offsite repairs and completing post-maintenance inspections

Site attendance will be roster-based and scheduled as required to align with planned maintenance and repair activities. Office-based time will be allocated for reporting, planning and ongoing program management.

You will have ongoing support from the iScope team but will work mostly unsupervised. You must be comfortable managing your workload, communicating directly with site stakeholders and following identified issues through to completion.

WHAT’S ON OFFER |

• Full-time employment directly with iScope

• Company vehicle and fuel card

• Competitive base salary

• Paid overtime and applicable site allowances

• RDOs

• Exposure to multiple mine sites and equipment types

• Ongoing technical and operational support

This position would suit an experienced Welding Inspector, Welding Supervisor or trade-qualified Boilermaker looking to use their practical experience in a specialist inspection and repair management role.

You will ideally have:

• A Boilermaker, Welder or equivalent trade qualification

• A recognised Welding Inspector qualification

• Welding Supervisor qualifications or relevant supervisory experience

• Practical experience with heavy mobile mining equipment

• Strong knowledge of structural cracking, wear, welding processes and repair sequencing

• The ability to interpret welding procedures, ITPs and NDT reports

• Strong reporting, photographic documentation and computer skills
