Application Engineer

About the role

Are you passionate about solving real-world conveyor challenges and helping customers keep critical operations moving? We are looking for an experienced Application Engineer to bring technical expertise, practical field insight, and customer-focused problem solving to conveyor belt systems and bulk materials handling operations.

In this role, you will be more than a technical support contact — you will be a trusted partner to customers and site teams. You will combine engineering knowledge, hands-on troubleshooting, and clear communication to improve conveyor reliability, reduce downtime, and deliver practical solutions that make a measurable difference in the field.

Key responsibilities

Bring your technical expertise to steel cord and fabric conveyor belt systems across demanding operating environments.

Assess conveyor systems in the field and translate inspection findings into practical improvement actions.

Lead belt failure investigations and root cause analysis to help customers understand issues and prevent recurrence.

Prepare clear, actionable technical reports that support confident decision-making after site inspections.

Recommend fit-for-purpose belt specifications, splicing methods, repair options, and conveyor system improvements.

Identify opportunities to improve safety, reliability, productivity, and long-term asset performance.

Support shutdown planning, major maintenance activities, and conveyor belt replacements with practical technical guidance.

Build strong working relationships with customers, maintenance teams, and site stakeholders to deliver effective technical outcomes.

Monitor conveyor performance and provide recommendations that help maximise belt life and minimise unplanned downtime.

Contribute your ideas to continuous improvement initiatives and best-practice maintenance strategies.

About you

Hands-on experience with conveyor belt systems in mining, bulk materials handling, ports, or industrial environments.

Strong technical understanding of steel cord and fabric conveyor belts.

Confidence in conducting belt inspections, investigating failures, and applying root cause analysis.

Practical knowledge of conveyor maintenance, splicing, repairs, and belt replacement activities.

A curious, analytical mindset and the drive to solve complex technical problems.

Clear communication skills, with the ability to explain technical findings in a practical and customer-focused way.

The ability to build trust quickly with customers, internal teams, and site stakeholders.

A safety-first approach and a genuine interest in continuous improvement.

Mechanical Engineering qualifications are desirable, but we also value strong industry experience and practical conveyor knowledge.

Benefits

Join an experienced team that values technical know-how, collaboration, and practical problem solving.

Take on varied, hands-on work across a wide range of customer sites and operating conditions.

Make a visible impact by helping customers improve reliability, performance, safety, and uptime.

Be part of a supportive culture that encourages safety, innovation, learning, and professional development.

Grow your career in a technically rewarding role with competitive remuneration and long-term development opportunities.
