As the single point of accountability for engineering governance, you will lead the development and oversight of engineering standards, asset management plans, maintenance strategies, risk frameworks and technical discipline leadership. Your work ensures the organisation has robust engineering foundations that support strategic production plans, long‑life asset performance and disciplined critical risk management.

You will also provide strategic leadership across the organisation —influencing senior stakeholders and driving a culture of engineering excellence. This includes building capability through communities of practice, mentoring engineers and supervisors, and setting clear expectations for engineering quality, risk management and professional conduct.

A key part of the role is translating legislative and statutory requirements into practical, executable engineering systems that lift performance across all operations.
