    Project Scheduler - Canberra, Australia - Downer

    Downer
    Default job background
    Description

    As Australia's multi-disciplinary advisory and business partner of choice for clients in defence, government and infrastructure, we deliver complex things that matter. It's not always an easy task, but anything worthwhile seldom is. Great things are rarely accomplished alone. We're building something remarkable. Now we just need you.

    A real endeavour, shaped by you

    As Project Scheduler, you'll work collaboratively within the Project Team with a high degree of autonomy to manage the Master Schedule and deliver business initiatives.

    To succeed in this endeavour, you will:

    • Participate in and lead scheduling workshops to help develop schedules, including resourcing, levelling, work breakdown structures, and reports.
    • Maintain, develop, and update the scheduling framework, processes, and templates.
    • Dependency development and analysis; updating and reporting on schedule progress.
    • Identify scheduling issues and provide advice for remediation and resolution options.
    • Collaborate with team leads and responsible parties to ensure data integrity.
    • Identify and implement planning and scheduling improvement initiatives.

    A real endeavour, driven by you

    Our work is highly complex and confidential, so there are some things you must have to fulfil this role:

    • You must have and maintain a minimum Negative Vetting 1 (NV1) security clearance as required by the Commonwealth.
    • Relevant qualifications and professional development in relation to Project Management
    • Schedule management professional accreditation or qualification for Open Plan Professional
    • Previous experience in a similar role, ideally within the defence, government, or professional services industries.
    • A natural ability to build trusted relationships with team members, customers, and partners.
    • A strong track record in managing resources to ensure services are delivered for current and future demand.
    • Strong communication skills, and you'll also be an analytical thinker who loves solving complex problems.

    More than anything, you'll bring a strong work ethic, a positive attitude and a drive to manage critical projects and programs that build sovereign capability and deliver complex things that matter.

    Why Downer Professional Services?

    At Downer Professional Services, you'll find the opportunity to build something remarkable. Here are some of the reasons why our people love working here:

    Work with purpose. You'll deliver or enable critical defence projects and programs in Australia, for Australia. Your expertise will help build sovereign capability.

    Great projects, influence and impact. You might join us for the projects, but we think you'll stay for the impact you can have. With high project ownership, agile problem solving and accessible leaders, you can go further at Downer Professional Services.

    Your opportunity to build something remarkable. We're proud of all we've achieved. But there's much more to do. Together, we're building a better, stronger, more agile Downer Professional Services. From process and systems to culture and communications, we're working hard to enable our teams to do their best work, whoever and wherever they are.

    We encourage you to join us on our greatest endeavour. We'll support and recognise your contribution, and you'll also enjoy a range of benefits including:

    • Veteran support initiatives and policies, including up to 20 days of Reservist Leave for veterans to remain connected as they transition out of active service.
    • An Employee Assistance Program providing access to professionals to support you (and your family) to achieve your personal or professional goals through wellbeing coaching, counselling, financial advice, legal advice and more.
    • Affordable healthcare covers, discounted car purchase and rental (with selected brands), and other retail discounts.
