Alinta Energy is one of Australia’s biggest energy retailers, generators and developers with over 1.1 million customers.

We’re investing in and developing large-scale renewables and storage projects as part of our ongoing effort to provide our customers with reliable, affordable and sustainable energy.

Ready to make a real impact?

This is a hands-on leadership role at our Braemar Power Station where you’ll play a key part in keeping the plant running safely, reliably and efficiently. Working closely with the Plant Manager, you’ll lead a small, experienced team and bring structure to maintenance planning and scheduling, ensuring work is delivered effectively and with a strong safety focus. You’ll also be part of the site’s on-call rotation, supporting operational responses when needed.

If you enjoy being close to operations, coaching a team and making a tangible impact on plant performance, this is a great opportunity to step into a well-established site with the scope to uplift how work is planned and executed.

What you'll do

• Lead and support a team of Operations & Maintenance Technicians, providing day-to-day supervision and coaching
• Plan and coordinate weekly maintenance activities and smaller outages to optimise plant performance
• Champion a strong safety culture, ensuring compliance with all HSE requirements and responding to incidents as needed
• Troubleshoot plant issues, support reporting and drive reliability and availability outcomes
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, reporting, and input into maintenance planning and budgets

Your experience

• Trade-qualified (electrical or mechanical) with experience in power generation or a similar heavy industry
• Proven experience in a supervisory, leading hand or team leadership capacity
• Strong understanding of plant operations, maintenance and planning/scheduling practices
• Experience working with permit systems and maintenance or asset management systems
• Collaborative, safety-focused and approachable, with the ability to build trust and lead effectively on site

Please note: Applicants must be an Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident.
