Are you passionate about technical training and safety in mining? We’re looking for a Technical Trainer to join our fast-growing team! In this role, you will deliver impactful technical training on the installation, operation, and maintenance of A&R’s full range of safety systems, including Collision Avoidance (CAS), Pedestrian Detection (PDS), Missing Person Locators (MPL), Railbound Safety, and Lamproom Management Systems.

You’ll facilitate both theory and hands-on sessions, ensuring our clients and internal teams are fully equipped to apply these systems effectively in both underground and surface mining environments.

All training takes place at our brand-new, fully equipped Training Centre, designed to simulate real-world mining environments and showcase every A&R system in operation.

We will also invest in your growth—successful candidates will be supported in obtaining official Assessor, Moderator, and Facilitator qualifications, making you a fully certified technical trainer.

• Plan and schedule technical training sessions across multiple systems and sites.
• Deliver engaging training on installation, fault-finding, and maintenance procedures.
• Conduct assessments and support the certification of trainees.
• Ensure training content promotes safe work practices and system compliance.
• Maintain accurate training records and submit progress reports.
• Collaborate with engineers and technical experts to refine training content.

• N3 Electrical (with Mathematics & Science) and minimum 2 years relevant technical experience.
• Strong understanding of safety technologies used in mining (e.g., CAS, PDS, MPL, Railbound, Lamproom).
• Experience in technical support or system installation within mining environments.
• Confident presenter with strong communication and facilitation skills.
• Able to work independently, travel to various sites, and train under field conditions.

• Exposure to all A&R safety systems—not just one.
• A modern, fully equipped Training Centre for immersive and practical learning.
• A pathway to become a certified Assessor, Moderator, and Facilitator—at our cost.
• Opportunities for growth into senior training or technical leadership roles.
• A collaborative environment focused on safety, innovation, and continuous learning.
