Document Control & Technical Support (Mining / Engineering)

Virtual Assistant, Document Control & Technical Support (Mining Mobile Fleet)

This role is only suitable for applicants with a mechanical or similar engineering background and a strong, practical understanding of mining mobile fleet used in Australia.

If you do not have hands-on exposure to mining or heavy vehicle documentation, this role will not be a good fit.

We are an engineering consultancy working with mining clients to develop, standardise, and maintain technical specifications for mobile plant and vehicle fleets. The work is highly structured, detail-driven, and technical.

The primary focus of this role is document control and technical specification support, not general admin.

Core focus of the role:
You will be working with detailed engineering and fleet specification documents covering equipment such as:
Light vehicles used on mine sites (LandCruiser, Hilux, Ranger, etc.)
- Forklifts
- Front end loaders
- Prime movers and trailers
- Other common mining mobile plant

You will help consolidate multiple inputs into clean, controlled, standardised specification documents used across entire fleets.

Key responsibilities
- Document control, version management, and change tracking
- Formatting, structuring, and maintaining technical specifications
- Supporting specification writing using provided engineering templates
- Reviewing documents for technical consistency, clarity, and compliance with internal standards
- Standardising documentation across multiple fleet categories and projects

Mandatory requirements

Applicants must meet all of the following:
Mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, mechatronic engineering, or closely related qualification
Strong understanding of mining mobile fleet and heavy vehicles used in Australian operations
Prior experience working with technical documentation, specifications, or controlled documents
Very high proficiency in Microsoft Word and Excel, including structured formatting
Excellent written English, with the ability to write clearly and precisely

Highly regarded:
Experience in mining, OEMs, fleet engineering, maintenance engineering, or asset management
Prior document control or specification writing experience in an engineering environment

Important application note:
- Please do not submit generic or AI-generated responses. They are very easy to identify and will not be considered.
- Instead, be specific. In your application, clearly describe:
- The types of mobile fleet or equipment you have worked with
- Your role in producing, managing, or controlling technical documents or specifications
- The industry context (mining, heavy vehicle, OEM, maintenance, etc.)

Applications that are vague or non-technical will be filtered out.
