A strategic engineering role with real operational impact

Bis Industries is a leading Australian provider of logistics and equipment solutions, supporting major resource and infrastructure operations nationwide. With a strong operational footprint and a commitment to safe, sustainable outcomes, asset reliability and maintenance strategy play a critical role in how we operate and grow.

We are seeking a Maintenance Strategy Engineer to lead the development and implementation of maintenance strategies that optimise asset performance, cost and reliability across our fleet.

This is a genuinely broad role — suited to an engineer who wants to move beyond reactive maintenance and take ownership of whole-of-business maintenance strategy, partnering closely with operations, commercial and leadership teams.

About the Role

As Maintenance Strategy Engineer, you will provide end-to-end ownership of maintenance strategy across the business. While maintenance planning and scheduling are key components, the role extends well beyond this to include asset performance optimisation, lifecycle costing, reliability improvement, compliance and continuous improvement initiatives.
You will work closely with internal stakeholders to ensure maintenance strategies are embedded into operational delivery and commercial decision-making, while proactively identifying opportunities to improve performance, reduce downtime and optimise cost.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and implement maintenance strategies to optimise cost, reliability and equipment availability
• Establish and maintain Bills of Materials (BoMs), maintenance schedules and service documentation
• Analyse asset performance, trends and failures to drive continuous improvement initiatives
• Lead failure investigations, root cause analysis and rectification strategies
• Drive transition to structured, planned maintenance approaches across the business
• Act as custodian of asset specifications, standards and technical documentation
• Partner with commercial teams to align maintenance strategies with pricing and lifecycle costing
• Contribute to capital forecasting and scenario analysis for asset strategies
• Ensure compliance with legislative, regulatory and company standards
• Promote and embed a strong Zero Harm safety culture
• Provide leadership, guidance and support to team members and stakeholders
• Collaborate across the business to share best practice and drive consistency

About You:
You’re an engineer who:

• Holds tertiary qualifications in Engineering (Mechanical or Electrical preferred)
• Has strong experience in asset management, maintenance or reliability, ideally within mining or heavy industry
• Has demonstrated experience developing and implementing maintenance strategies
• Understands asset lifecycle costing, performance optimisation and reliability principles
• Is confident working across both technical and commercial aspects of the business
• Communicates clearly and influences stakeholders at all levels
• Applies strong analytical thinking, problem solving and root cause analysis skills
• Thrives in a hands-on, operational environment with varied responsibilities

Leadership experience and exposure to maintenance management systems will be highly regarded.

Why Join Bis?

• A true end-to-end maintenance strategy role with influence across the business
• Direct exposure to senior leaders and the ability to shape asset strategy and outcomes
• Broad, varied work that builds both technical and commercial capability
• Opportunity to drive real improvements in asset performance and cost optimisation
• A collaborative, down-to-earth culture focused on practical outcomes and accountability

If you are looking to step into a role where you can influence asset strategy, drive reliability improvements and make a tangible operational impact, we’d love to hear from you.
