About the role
This interview tests how you keep a mining fleet reliable without compromising safe work or long-term equipment condition. The panel wants strong maintenance planning, evidence-based failure analysis, practical control of spares and contractors, and confident leadership across workshop and production teams.
How to prepare
- Prepare an example of improving availability by addressing a recurring failure.
- Review how you set service strategies for equipment working under different loads and conditions.
- Think through the measures that reveal maintenance quality, backlog risk and component performance.
- Prepare a sourcing decision that balanced downtime, cost, warranty and technical risk.
- Revise your controls for isolation, lifting, stored energy and return-to-service checks.
Common mistakes
- Using availability alone without discussing utilisation, delay causes and maintenance quality.
- Treating repeated component replacement as root cause analysis.
- Choosing parts on purchase price without considering downtime, life and support.
- Allowing production pressure to weaken isolation, inspection or return-to-service controls.
