The magnetite iron ore from these sites is pelletised at our Pellet Plant and the hematite ore is loaded at our ports for export, all located within Whyalla Steelworks site in Whyalla.

Our ideal candidate will possess tertiary qualifications in mechanical engineering and experience working in materials handling, processing, mining, or a heavy industry environment. You will have a demonstrated experience in development and execution of plant modifications. Equally important will be your knowledge of maintenance systems and related philosophies, strong analytical and problem-solving skills, ability to communicate with a variety of technical stakeholders and ability to work autonomously towards set project goals.
