These opportunities may be available on a permanent full-time or casual basis (depending on role and project requirements) and offer genuine variety — from planning complex port shutdowns and fixed plant outages to coordinating mining maintenance and council-based works. You’ll work across multiple asset classes while owning schedules end‑to‑end.
The Role As part of our planning talent pool, you may be considered for future roles where you will be responsible for planning and scheduling maintenance, shutdown, and project activities, working closely with operations, engineering, and contractors to ensure safe and efficient execution.

Typical responsibilities may include:

• Developing detailed work packs, labour profiles, and execution schedules
• Building integrated schedules across maintenance and project scopes
• Coordinating with operations, maintenance, engineering, and contractors
• Managing schedules through execution, tracking progress and risks
• Using SAP (PM/MM) and MS Project to manage work orders, critical paths, reporting, and KPIs
• Identifying and mitigating schedule and execution risks

About You We’re keen to hear from planners who bring:

• 2+ years’ experience in maintenance planning, shutdown planning, or project scheduling
• Experience within mining, ports, or council environments
• Strong working knowledge of SAP PM/MM (or equivalent CMMS)
• Proficiency in MS Project or Primavera
• Hands-on experience supporting shutdowns, outages, or maintenance execution
• Strong stakeholder engagement and coordination skills

Highly regarded:

• Experience planning shutdowns or fixed plant assets (CHPP, ports, bulk materials handling)
• Trade background or engineering qualification

What We Offer

• Various rosters available, including DIDO and home‑every‑night options (role dependent)
• Permanent full-time or casual opportunities as projects arise
• Exposure to complex shutdowns, maintenance, and project environments
• Diverse portfolio across mining, ports, and council assets
• Supportive, experienced planning and leadership team
• Competitive salary packages plus allowances
• Ongoing professional development and career progression opportunities
