With a long-established presence in Australia and strong backing from a global parent, the organisation designs, manufactures and supports highly engineered equipment that plays a critical role in waste, public infrastructure, safety and environmental sectors. The business is experiencing sustained growth driven by acquisition, product innovation and an expanding aftermarket strategy.

\n

The ideal candidate will be a senior engineering leader with extensive experience in manufacturing or heavy industrial environments, ideally involving complex mechanical, electrical and digital systems. You will bring a strong track record in product development, lifecycle management, modularisation across the product range and a strong connectivity and digital technology bias connecting electro-mechanical systems with intelligent systems, digital outputs and data.
