Job Description

Are You Ready to Make It Happen at Mondelēz International?

Join our Mission to Lead the Future of Snacking. Make It With Pride.

Mondelēz International empowers people to snack right in over 150 countries around the world. We're leading the future of snacking with iconic global and local brands such as Oreo, Cadbury, Philadelphia, Pascall, The Natural Confectionery Company, Belvita, Ritz and Toblerone.

For over 50 years, our factory in Scoresby has been home to some of Australia's most-loved candy brands — Pascall, The Natural Confectionery Company and Sour Patch Kids — producing close to 35,000 tonnes annually for candy lovers across Australia and New Zealand.

About the Role

As our Reliability and Planning Engineer, you'll be the technical backbone of our maintenance and reliability operations. You'll bring deep expertise in process equipment and maintenance systems to drive equipment reliability, reduce unplanned downtime, and build the capability of our teams. Working closely with line leaders, technicians, and contractors, you'll own the preventive maintenance strategy and ensure our equipment delivers at its best — every day.

How you will contribute

You will:

•Partner with line leaders to deliver targets across Safety, Quality, Cost, Delivery, Sustainability and Morale, ensuring process stability and participating in daily management meetings.

•Own and manage preventive and time-based maintenance systems and plans using SAP, including master data integrity, scheduling, and workflow execution.

•Develop and implement predictive and preventive maintenance strategies to minimise unplanned downtime and drive equipment reliability.

•Build technical and maintenance capability across the team — spending at least 50% of your time coaching and upskilling technicians so they can operate and maintain equipment independently.

•Manage the Repairs and Maintenance budget for your lines, driving cost reduction through breakdown analysis, spare parts localisation, and continuous improvement.

•Lead Progressive Maintenance systems and key performance indicators at line level and contribute to department-level initiatives.

•Partner with the Asset and Reliability team on system improvements and special maintenance tasks.

•Act as the site technology owner for your lines, representing the department in regional and global technology forums.

•Support new initiatives and contribute to internal and external benchmarking and best-practice sharing.

•Serve as a subject matter expert in a component category and train others in maintenance-related topics across the plant.

What you will bring - You Make Mondelēz

A desire to drive your future and accelerate your career and the following experience and knowledge:

•Proven experience in a reliability, maintenance planning, or maintenance engineering role within a manufacturing or FMCG environment.

•Strong working knowledge of the SAP PM module, including maintenance planning, scheduling, master data management, and functional location structures.

•Experience developing and executing predictive and preventive maintenance strategies.

•Solid understanding of TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) and Lean manufacturing principles, with the ability to coach teams on continuous improvement and root cause analysis.

•Demonstrated ability to manage budgets, resources, and priorities based on equipment criticality.

•Track record of building team capability and developing technical skills in others.

•Strong analytical skills with experience driving OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) improvements.

•Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work across technical and non-technical teams.

•A relevant engineering qualification (mechanical, electrical, or related discipline) is highly regarded.
