- Machine rebuilds and engineering upgrades
- Design certification and engineering documentation
- Research and development of new mining technologies
The Opportunity
As a Graduate Mechanical Engineer, you will gain practical experience across every stage of the engineering process, including:
- Structural and mechanical calculations
- Design validation and testing
- Site visits to underground coal mines
- Working directly with fabrication and machining teams
- Assisting with new product development
- Supporting engineering documentation and technical reports
- Participating in continuous improvement projects
This role provides genuine exposure to large-scale mechanical engineering projects from concept through to commissioning.
About You
You will have:
- Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (or graduating within the next 12 months)
- Strong problem-solving skills
- Interest in heavy machinery and mechanical systems
- Knowledge of CAD software (SolidWorks experience desirable)
- A willingness to learn from experienced engineers and tradespeople
