The Opportunity:

We're looking for an organised and proactive Assistant Engineering professional to support our Refinery Engineering team.

Based at our Refinery site near Perth Airport, this is a 6-month maximum term opportunity with an ASAP start. The role is part-time, working 22.5 hours per week, with flexibility in how those hours are structured.

You'll play an important role in keeping projects moving, supporting engineers with documentation, coordinating administrative processes, managing purchase requisitions and invoices, and helping maintain the systems and procedures that keep our refinery operating effectively.

This is an opportunity to work closely with technical specialists, contractors and stakeholders across the business while gaining exposure to a unique manufacturing and engineering environment.

About You:

You're a highly organised administrator who enjoys bringing structure, accuracy and attention to detail to everything you do. You take pride in keeping things running smoothly, can manage multiple priorities, and build positive working relationships with a wide range of people.

You'll bring previous experience in an administrative role, along with strong communication and document management skills. Experience supporting technical teams or technical writing would be highly regarded, but isn't essential.

Most importantly, you're someone who takes ownership of your work, values confidentiality, and is committed to working safely and responsibly in a team environment.

Our Benefits:

• Flexible work including purchased leave and leave at half pay
• Training and development opportunities
• Competitive salaries and employee discounts
• Charity and volunteer initiatives
• Health and wellness programs, including an Employee Assistance Program
• Salary sacrifice – superannuation contributions.

So go on, make your mark. If you are excited by this role and want to join the team at the iconic Perth Mint, apply today. Flexible arrangements will be considered on an individual basis. 

Applications close on 17 September 2026. The Perth Mint reserves the right to close applications prior to this date.
