As the Release Train Engineer, you’ll play a key role in creating alignment, transparency and delivery confidence across your Agile Release Train.
You’ll work closely with Product Management, Engineering Managers, Scrum Masters, Product Owners, technical leaders and delivery teams to keep priorities aligned, dependencies visible and teams focused on delivering meaningful outcomes.
With multiple teams contributing to the next generation of the product, you’ll help coordinate delivery across a complex technology landscape incorporating robotics, AI, geospatial capabilities, software, data and mining equipment.
This isn't simply a coordination role. You’ll be a trusted delivery partner who can facilitate at scale, coach teams and leaders, constructively challenge existing ways of working and use data to identify where delivery can be improved.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll:

- Partner with Product Management, Engineering Managers and senior stakeholders to align delivery with strategic and customer priorities
- Manage cross-team dependencies, risks, blockers and ROAM activities
- Improve visibility and coordination across shared objectives and complex dependencies
- Support continuous value delivery across a large-scale mining technology solution
- Partner with engineering and technical leaders to promote quality, reliability, predictability and sustainable delivery
- Provide clear, data-driven reporting covering delivery progress, ART health, flow, capacity, quality, risks and dependencies
- Use delivery metrics, flow data, feedback and retrospectives to identify systemic bottlenecks and drive measurable improvements
- Act as a trusted delivery partner, providing clear communication and practical options to support decision-making
We’re looking for someone with significant experience delivering Agile programs at scale who is comfortable working across multiple teams, disciplines and stakeholder groups.

- Strong analytical skills and confidence using delivery metrics and flow data
- The ability to influence outcomes without relying on formal authority
- A genuine continuous improvement mindset focused on removing process waste and improving delivery
It would be advantageous if you have:
- SAFe Release Train Engineer (RTE) certification
- Experience working in large-scale technology environments involving 250+ people
- Experience operating across multiple Agile Release Trains or portfolios
- Experience with Azure DevOps, JIRA or equivalent
- Exposure to mining, autonomous or robotic systems, AI, geospatial technology, operational technology, heavy equipment or complex engineering/software environments
This is an opportunity to work with a leading global OEM of mining equipment and technology on the next generation of a major mining technology product.
Rather than working on a conventional enterprise software program, you’ll be part of an environment where advanced software interacts with the physical world – including robotic mining equipment, AI-driven capabilities and state-of-the-art geospatial technology.
You’ll have genuine scale and complexity, leading an ART of around 60 people while collaborating across a global technology organisation of more than 300 professionals.
You’ll also benefit from flexibility around your daily start and finish times, while working onsite alongside the teams and stakeholders you’ll be supporting.
If you enjoy Agile leadership, solving complex delivery challenges, coaching teams and helping deliver genuinely advanced technology, we’d love to hear from you.
