Recruitment Team Iluka Resources Limited Balranald, NSW
2 June 2025
Dear Hiring Manager,
Re: Maintenance Superintendent I am writing to express my keen interest in the position of Maintenance Superintendent at Iluka Resources’ Balranald operation. With over 30 years of multidisciplinary maintenance leadership across underground and surface mining operations throughout Australia, Africa, and New Zealand, I bring an extensive and well-rounded capability set in asset management, reliability engineering, workforce development, and operational optimisation. I am particularly energised by Iluka’s pioneering deployment of remotely operated underground mining systems and the opportunity to contribute at the critical operational readiness phase, helping to build, from the ground up, a resilient maintenance function that will underpin production success and long-term asset performance. My career is anchored by a trade qualification in Heavy Automotive Engineering, complemented by a Diploma in Maintenance Management and a Certificate IV in Training and Assessing. I hold statutory supervisory certification, Incident Cause Analysis Method (ICAM) training and I am fully conversant with WHS legislation and risk management protocols across high-hazard environments. Across my senior leadership appointments including my current role as Underground Maintenance Superintendent with Barminco at Zone 5 in Botswana, I have consistently demonstrated the ability to lead large, culturally diverse teams, implement high-reliability maintenance programs, and deliver measurable improvements across availability, cost control, safety and workforce capability. At Barminco, I oversee a department comprising over 230 personnel, including mobile and fixed plant technicians, planners, electricians, warehouse officers and remote technology specialists. I have successfully introduced predictive maintenance frameworks underpinned by real-time telemetry, vibration analysis, thermography and electrical load diagnostics. These measures have enabled us to maintain fleet availability at consistently high levels above 85%, despite challenging site conditions and logistical constraints. I have also embedded a rigorous shutdown planning regime to ensure that both planned and opportune maintenance interventions are executed safely, efficiently, and with minimal production disruption. My leadership is characterised by a strong emphasis on technical mentorship, clear communication and values-driven engagement. I conduct regular safety briefings, toolbox talks, and individual coaching sessions to foster accountability, operational ownership, and continuous improvement. These efforts have led to tangible uplifts in safety performance, incident response capability and team morale. During my tenure with African Underground Mining Services (AUMS) in Ghana, I led the overhaul of the underground workshop’s reliability processes. By introducing a rebuild cost forecasting model and asset life-cycle planning tools, I delivered a 17% reduction in component budget overruns and significantly improved long-term expenditure predictability. I also initiated a technical uplift program that included the structured upskilling of national fitters and leading hands, which improved workforce self-sufficiency and reduced reliance on expatriate resources. In previous roles across Western Australia with RUC and GBF Contracting, I designed and implemented maintenance schedules that aligned with both short-term production goals and long-term capital strategy. I led classified plant compliance initiatives, streamlined procurement and inventory management processes and optimised CMMS utilisation across platforms such as SAP, Pronto, Oracle and JDE. These improvements supported the timely delivery of shutdowns, minimised critical path delays, and reinforced data integrity in maintenance reporting. Notably, I was entrusted with the design and project management of a purpose-built underground maintenance facility during my time at Leighton Mining’s Favona Decline Project in New Zealand. This greenfield initiative required the integration of workshop design, hydrocarbon management, statutory compliance and tooling logistics. Its successful delivery remains a testament to my capacity to navigate complex technical, regulatory and stakeholder considerations simultaneously. What draws me to Iluka Resources is the organisation’s bold commitment to innovation, environmental stewardship and the strategic development of Australia’s critical minerals sector. The Balranald project’s incorporation of novel underground mining technologies presents a rare and exciting opportunity to shape fit-for-purpose systems, processes and culture at the very genesis of operations. I am inspired by Iluka’s corporate values of Integrity, Respect, Courage, Accountability and Collaboration, which closely mirror my own leadership philosophy and professional conduct. I am open to FIFO, DIDO, or relocation and welcome the opportunity to play a foundational role in establishing a robust, future-focused maintenance function that supports the Balranald site’s operational and strategic imperatives. Please find attached my résumé for your consideration. I would be delighted to discuss my candidacy further and provide any additional information that may assist in your evaluation. Thank you for considering my application. Yours sincerely,

During this placement, I conducted root cause analyses, developed reliability-centred maintenance strategies, contributed to RAMS-based assessments, and supported the refinement of mechanical subsystems to improve fleet availability and lifecycle performance. I authored work instructions that were adopted depot-wide and developed risk mitigation proposals addressing structural vulnerabilities on Sprinter and N-class rolling stock. My contributions were formally recognised by Alstom's senior engineering and HR leadership for their clarity, technical depth, and alignment with operational safety standards. Although I am currently based in Sri Lanka to complete this final internship, I maintain a permanent residential address in Box Hill, Melbourne, and I hold a valid Australian visa. I am able to return to Victoria and commence employment at Barker Trailers with a two-week notice period. I wish to clarify that the Melbourne address listed on my résumé reflects my immediate relocation readiness and my established long-term ties to Australia. I am committed to relocating promptly to fulfil the requirements of this role and to integrate seamlessly into your Woodend-based operations. What draws me most to Barker Trailers is the organisation’s unwavering commitment to quality, its Australian manufacturing heritage, and its forward-thinking approach to product design and customer satisfaction. I am confident that my academic grounding, supported by real-world engineering experience in both international and Australian contexts, positions me as a strong candidate to support Barker’s production goals, design innovation, and engineering excellence. My proficiencies in 3D CAD modelling, documentation development, compliance analysis, and stakeholder communication enable me to adapt to project complexities and contribute value across engineering and drafting functions. Find attached my résumé for your consideration. I welcome the opportunity to further discuss how my technical competencies, practical insights and commitment to engineering integrity can contribute to the continued success of Barker Trailers. I am available for a virtual or in-person interview at your earliest convenience and am happy to provide further supporting documentation upon request. Thank you for considering my application. Yours faithfully,
James Bradford
