Swedish innovation meets Australian ingenuity; we are Orexplore.
Founded in Sweden, and a former subsidiary of Swick Mining Services, Orexplore Technologies, headquartered in Perth, is an Australian publicly listed technology company.

Duties.

The operations manager will also work closely with the Company’s Geoscience; Engineering; Data Science (Perth), and R&D teams (Stockholm) to ensure the highest levels of operational performance; reliability; productivity and safety are achieved on each project.
A vital element of this role is also the ability to effectively communicate the value of technology to a diverse set of customer stakeholders to drive the platform’s adoption permanently in the field. This involves developing a deep understanding of the customer’s operations and an ability to discover the opportunities and problems they face daily while articulating and demonstrating the power of our platform to add value to their businesses and operations.
This role will be the primary contact between clients and Orexplore for field-based activities associated with our Sea Container deployments.
