Utility Operations Superintendent
We are seeking an experienced Utility Operations Superintendent to lead the safe, reliable and efficient operation of utility systems across a complex industrial or infrastructure environment. The role will provide operational leadership for essential services such as water, wastewater, steam, compressed air, power distribution, fuel systems, cooling systems and other supporting utilities. You will be responsible for maintaining high standards of safety, compliance, reliability and service continuity while supporting operational and maintenance teams.
Key responsibilities include supervising day-to-day utility operations, coordinating shift activities and ensuring systems are operated within approved procedures and regulatory requirements. You will monitor performance, investigate failures and abnormal conditions, and lead corrective actions to minimise disruption. The role will also involve developing operating plans, reviewing maintenance requirements, supporting shutdowns and start-ups, and coordinating with engineering, maintenance, production, contractors and external service providers. You will contribute to capital improvement projects, operational readiness reviews, emergency response planning and continuous improvement initiatives. Accurate reporting, performance analysis and the effective management of operating costs will also be important aspects of the position.
Applicants should have substantial experience in utility operations, ideally within a manufacturing, energy, processing, mining, water or similarly regulated environment. A relevant technical qualification, engineering background or equivalent practical experience is required, together with a strong understanding of industrial utility systems, process safety, environmental controls and permit-to-work practices. Experience leading operational teams, managing contractors and making sound decisions during incidents is essential. You will be a confident communicator with strong planning, problem-solving and people-management skills, and a proven ability to build a culture of accountability, safety and continuous improvement. The successful candidate must be willing to work flexibly, including participating in an on-call or shift-support arrangement where required.
