• Apply engineering principles to assist with machine build design, specification, and configuration, including support for precision sub-assembly and precision component manufacture.

• Use sub-micron measurement capability, complex assembly plans, and system fault diagnostics to resolve difficult engineering design and production process problems.

• Support standardization of ME build processes to improve efficiency, quality, and safety, including hands-on builds, JBS creation, checklist/stage gate modifications, and test rig design and assembly.

• Provide technical support for OS branches and customers through issue resolution and installation support from plant, branch, or onsite settings (as required by project needs).

• Support production teams during demand fluctuations and contribute during ad hoc projects such as machine rebuilds and machine disassembly/scrap activities.

• Conduct level 1 meetings and participate in relevant project and production meetings to support completion within required timeframes.

• Independently raise, resolve and escalate issues when required to relevant project stakeholders (e.g., NPD, SAR and CPE project work).

• Provide training to operators, technicians, apprentices and engineers when required, and mentor apprentices during their rotations within the project team and/or other production areas.

You will also take an active role in quality assurance, health and safety, and continuous improvement.

• Apply analytical skills in fault finding and technical decision-making; lead and facilitate technical root cause investigations.

• Ensure quality procedures and standard work instructions are followed; report issues, rework and waste opportunities in a timely manner.

• Ensure non-conforming product is entered and tracked through the NCR system as required; support corrective action assignment and follow-up to completion.

• Liaise with the quality department to address quality matters relevant to your work.

• Maintain a health and safe work environment by working with your manager/supervisor and colleagues to mitigate and eliminate hazards.

• Follow all Health and Safety instructions, including wearing prescribed PPE at all times.

• Assist health and safety representatives with risk assessments across operational teams, and complete incident and near-miss reporting in a timely manner.

• Support continuous improvement through identification of cost-saving and efficiency opportunities, including use of improvements boards.

• Learn, understand, develop, and train in APS principles; help ensure 5S and daily TPM are followed.

• Use the OPL system to log issues and drive them to completion, and utilize escalation pathways when required.

• Model company behaviors and contribute to embedding the organization’s Vision, Mission and Values within areas of responsibility.

Candidate Profile

The successful candidate will bring strong machine tool experience, the ability to read and interpret technical drawings, and a practical approach to problem solving, quality and safety.

• Qualification in a relevant trade or engineering pathway: Mechanical Trade, or Electrical Trade with mechanical experience, or an engineering qualification with hands-on machine tool experience.

• Minimum 5+ years of machine tool experience or automated systems experience.

• Good knowledge of machine tool construction, including mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical drawings, components and circuits.

• Analytical competency in fault-finding, decision-making and issue resolution, including proven ability to find root causes.
