• Support plant modifications, refurbishments and outage activities
• Lead or support complex maintenance tasks and provide technical guidance to others
• Work within Stanwell’s permit, isolation and Safe System of Work processes
• Complete technical documentation including work orders, test results and maintenance history
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives to enhance safety, reliability and performance
