The Opportunity

We’re looking for an experienced Maintenance Planning Team Leader to lead our mid term Asset Management Planning team and drive best-practice planning and scheduling outcomes across the terminal.

This is a high-impact leadership role where you will:

• Lead and develop a team of planners to deliver high-quality, consistent planning outcomes
• Drive the development and execution of mid to long-term asset plans and work packages, including the 5-year planning cycle
• Improve and standardise planning systems, processes and work management practices
• Monitor planning performance and adjust priorities to meet operational needs
• Partner across the business to deliver safe, efficient and reliable asset outcomes
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives across asset management and planning functions

This role blends people leadership, technical expertise and strategic influence — with a strong focus on improving systems, performance and reliability.

• Demonstrated ability to monitor performance, adapt plans and respond to changing operational priorities
• Experience using data and insights to identify gaps and drive continuous improvement
• Strong stakeholder engagement, influencing and negotiation skills
• Exposure to contractor management, including developing scopes of work and supporting tender processes (desirable)
• Experience in heavy industry, resources or continuous processing environments

You are known for being:

• A proactive and adaptable leader who thrives in dynamic environments
• A strong communicator who builds trust and alignment across teams
• A collaborative team player who leads with energy and initiative
• A solution-focused thinker who performs well under pressure and understands risk in an operational context

What’s on Offer

• Monday to Friday role — home every night
• Up to 12% superannuation
• Short Term Incentive bonus opportunity
