Build the future. Sustainably. With Thiess.
Are you ready for a challenge that goes beyond the ordinary? We are offering a unique opportunity to spend 12 months in Chile, working hands-on to uplift the capabilities of our local maintenance teams. This is more than a technical role, it’s a chance to shape a team, share your knowledge, and leave a legacy.
As a Technical Advisor, you’ll play a vital coaching role in the development of our Chilean maintenance workforce. Your mission will be to guide and mentor, not to be the one fixing every issue, but to help others learn how to do it for themselves. If you're someone who thrives on helping others grow and believes in long-term solutions over quick fixes, we want to hear from you.
What you’ll do:
- Empowering maintenance teams through training and day-to-day guidance
- Supporting the diagnosis and repair of mining fleet equipment including:
- Cat 793 Trucks
- Liebherr 996/B and Cat 6060 Excavators
- Cat 994H Loaders
- Enhancing the team’s ability to interpret and utilize OEM support systems like Cat SIS and Cummins Insight
- Promoting best practices in welding and structural management of key components
- Leveraging Thiess systems such as JDE for performance tracking and process alignment
Who You Are:
