This position is a 14:14 roster for an initial 2-year contract. Description: The Laboratory Analyst is a key member of plant operations, responsible for both laboratory work and on‑plant sampling. They collect and analyse routine and non‑routine fluid samples to provide essential data for daily operations, long‑term plant management, and regulatory compliance with NOPSEMA, DMP and environmental licence requirements. Their work supports pipeline and asset integrity, well management, and operational decision‑making.
