OUR OPPORTUNITY

Work Location: Perth – Fortescue’s Perth office is located on the traditional lands of the Whadjuk Noongar people

Fortescue is on a mission to fully decarbonise our iron ore operations, and artificial intelligence is at the core of making this bold transformation a reality. We’re building a future where electric haul trucks, green energy systems, and real-time optimisation redefine what’s possible in mining — and we’re looking for a Product Owner who can make that future happen.
As the Product Owner – AI for Decarbonisation, you’ll lead the design and development of pioneering AI-powered tools that enable the shift to net-zero mining. You’ll spearhead the product strategy, development roadmap, and stakeholder engagement for two of our most critical digital systems: an intelligent Fleet Management Platform and a next-generation Green Fleet Dispatch Optimiser. These tools will directly influence how we plan, operate, and continuously optimise our fully electrified mining fleets.
