Director of Engineering

MASPRO | Australia | Flexible Location - NSW / WA considered.

Lead. Transform. Build what’s next.

Build a high-performing engineering culture in a growing Australian business.

MASPRO is entering a pivotal phase of growth and we are seeking a Director of Engineering to shape, lead and elevate our engineering function at a critical moment in our evolution.

This is not a traditional engineering leadership role. It is an opportunity to step in, take ownership and build a high-performing, future-focused engineering capability that directly influences our products, our customers and our market position.

The Opportunity

This is a rare opportunity to lead the next phase of MASPRO’s engineering evolution. We are seeking a proven leader who can build on strong technical foundations and shape a more scalable, high-performing engineering function aligned to our growth ambitions.

You will lead people and lead change - strengthening leadership capability, creating clear accountability, improving prioritisation and embedding the systems, rhythms and discipline required for consistent delivery.

At the same time, you will play a central role in lifting new product development capability, ensuring engineering effort is focused on commercially valuable innovation and customer outcomes.

Working closely with Sales, Operations and the Executive team, you will connect customer needs, product strategy and engineering execution - helping MASPRO grow with discipline, speed and impact.

What you will lead

• A capable engineering team through its next phase of growth and maturity
• Clear priorities, accountability and execution discipline
• A stronger new product development engine
• Better alignment between customer demand and engineering effort
• Scalable systems, governance and leadership capability
• Future engineering structure, talent and succession

Who you are

You are a proven leader who knows how to build capable teams, lift standards and create momentum. You bring the judgement, presence and credibility to lead experienced technical people while driving meaningful change.

You have successfully led engineering or technical functions through growth, increased complexity or performance uplift. You know how to introduce structure, accountability and clearer ways of working without creating unnecessary bureaucracy.

You combine strong commercial instincts with technical credibility, translating customer needs into practical engineering priorities and outcomes.

You are collaborative, direct and outcomes focused. You can challenge constructively, make decisions when needed, and bring people with you through change.

You may come from mining, manufacturing, rail, agriculture, defence, automotive or another industrial product environment where quality, reliability and delivery matter.

Relevant engineering qualifications are valued, but your leadership impact and ability to elevate a function will matter most.

Why MASPRO

MASPRO is a proudly Australian, privately owned business with strong foundations, a respected market reputation and clear growth ambition. We design, engineer and manufacture high-performance solutions for the mining industry, where reliability, speed and quality matter.

This is an opportunity to join at a meaningful point in our journey - where the business is successful, growing and ready for its next phase of capability and scale.

You will have the chance to shape a function, influence decisions directly and see the impact of your leadership without layers of unnecessary bureaucracy.

You’ll work alongside hands-on leaders who value initiative, ownership and people who make things happen.

For the right person, this is a chance to step into a role where you can build something significant, lead real change and leave a visible mark on the future of the business.
