Context and purpose of the role
The HME Mechanic is responsible for preventive maintenance, fault diagnosis and mechanical repairs of mine dewatering pumps as the primary area of responsibility. The role supports reliable dewatering and timely restoration of critical equipment as the mine moves to rely on its own pump fleet.

Support pump installation, relocation, commissioning and return to service; verify priming and operating condition.
•
Maintain other site pumps and HME as assigned (engines, hydraulics, driveline, brakes, steering).
•
Maintain service records, job cards, maintenance schedules and a prioritized defect backlog.
