As part of the “Our Water Our Future: The Next Stage” of the Government’s Water Plan, the Victorian Government is developing a desalination plant near Wonthaggi to produce drinking water from seawater. The Victorian Desalination Project will deliver one of the largest reverse-osmosis desalination plants in the world, capable of supplying up to 150 billion litres of water a year - more than a third of Melbourne’s annual water needs and ensuring drinking water is available even in times of drought.

The Thiess Degremont Nacap Joint Venture has been established to construct the 84 kilometre pipeline that will carry the potable water produced by the Desalination Plant to the Melbourne water supply network.

Key responsibilities of the positions will include:

• providing leadership and direction to all maintenance personnel including sub contractors, suppliers and original equipment manufacturers.
• driving maintenance practices that ensure that equipment fleet availability meets performance targets.
• managing critical plant/equipment breakdowns to minimise impact on construction.
• monitoring maintenance costs and equipment performance.
• ensuring all work is carried out in a safe manner and within OH&S guidelines.

To be considered for this position you will possess supervisory level experience in a mobile plant maintenance environment, with a strong understanding of maintenance planning and condition monitoring, and OH&S practices.

This role offers a chance to build your career and work with a top team on a vital and high profile piece of infrastructure.
